Paris, Paris... Paris, Paris... Photo Gallery by Maciej Dakowicz at pbase.com

Paris, Paris... Paris, Paris...

Six days in Paris. Hot June 2005.

It is a really beautiful city, having a really special atmosphere and what is very important to me - Paris is very photogenic. People are very friendly, some of them can even speak English. I wouldn't mind living there at all.

I also met there some of my old Internet friends from www.TrekEarth.com. The last dinner in a veri veri French small restaurant with Luko, Simon and Eric before coming back to the UK will be hard to forget. Thanks guys again. I hope I will have a chance to visit Paris again.

and thank you so much for all your comments and votes

Paris, Paris, Paris! there is some magic there. something in the air. Then I came ther the first time I was looking on the streets from the bus window, and suddenly, something burn my passion to this city.

Great pictures. When I first planned my trip to Paris, in the last minute I decided to bring my mountain bike with me all the way from Toronto and I am so glad I did. The greatest way to explore the city was by riding my bike which gave me so many great photographic opportunities. With my bike I was able to explore every detail of the city and I am sure that in my 2 weeks there I have seen more of Paris than most tourists will ever have a chance to see. Everybody at my hostel felt envy when they would see my wake up early in the morning, get on my bike and go explore the city.

That's exacly for those everyday little details that I love to live in Paris. You've managed to capture some of Paris' unique poetry...Your pictures are so amazing! Thanks for unveiling my beloved city beauty with such an original touch.

Eric Pouhier		18-Jul-2005 12:01
Bravo, this gallery is brilliant almost all the photos are awesome and very expressive. I lover it, voted ! Eric de Paris (living there downtown).

oochappan		17-Jul-2005 10:11
Every situation or environment has his proper concept of photographie and indeed your ambition of approach of thight frames spotting small comparative elements in a fast almost chaotic way depicts perfectly the high speed of life in a city where all passes very quickly where a lot of tiny elements are tassed together, turnig around gives you again and again a very specifique view with new elements of all the sensations that a city can offer. Perfect, your concept fits a vivant city.

Karl R. Josker		17-Jul-2005 01:27
Great stuff! Outstanding photography, I really enjoy your work.

galeota		16-Jul-2005 20:09
What a talent man, what a talent...

Alain BASSIERE		16-Jul-2005 19:57
Last year, I loved your indian pictures before (and after) going to Mumbay for the first time This year, I love your parisian pictures. But this time it will be easier for me to go there. Just because I live here. Congratulation, you took a good slice of Paris life. Things that we don't see anymore. ABV

Brian Klimowski		16-Jul-2005 13:54
What an artistic approach to street photography - the compositions are as stunning as the moments you've captured! Brian

antidote3		16-Jul-2005 03:44
truely a wonderful gallery of parisians or tourist doing their everyday stuff. :)

Stan Schutze		15-Jul-2005 15:34
Maciek, these photos are complex and full of detail, yet feel refreshing and uncluttered. The points you make are very intelligent and artistic. Simple complexity. Complex simplicity. Whatever you want to call it, it's not easy. Good job!

Yergen Diesel		14-Jul-2005 22:28
Great! I love your truly original vision of Paris. Thanks a lot for sharing!

Demetreos Patas		14-Jul-2005 21:14
Great gallery with clever shots .Voted "if they were real..." my first choice "Sun Shade" my second "Sacre Coeur" my third

Niall O'Shea		14-Jul-2005 12:10
This is a triumph of a gallery: it shows, wit, speed, imagination, an eye for the incongruous and the post processing really makes them pop. I like the studious avoidance of cliche for such a thoroughly documented subject. Gets my vote.

Hina Shimomura		14-Jul-2005 10:56

Great, non conventional shots, out of the box thinking and technical skill. Making for very lively and unique and ofcourse beautiful photos of Paris. Extra bonus points for not showing a photo of the entire Eiffel Tower. I voted for the gallery Maciek.
