The Parisian Stalker

The Parisian Stalker has arrived in NYC!
Armed and dangerous with his semi-automatics :-)

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting fellow
Pbaser Jean-Pierre Bijouard,
aka the Great Parallaxes,
and his warm and wonderful family.

We met up for a little shoot and chat session in the city.
I was most impressed with his unassuming, stealthy style of
street shooting! Now I can see why his subjects never notice
that he had taken the shot, he is that smooth!! The best kind
of street shooter, silent and deadly! Thanks for sharing your
technique, really appreciate it.

We both shared a love for the city life, photography, and a good cup
of coffee, in addition to other 'bad' vices, lol. And what a great guy.
He is a man that I am proud to call my friend. Please check out his awesome galleries,
starting with his amazing New York City collection here.

Two awesome street shooters on the prowl together in NYC, a real meeting of talent!
Thanks for sharing the pic and story, Sam, I've been a Jean fan for some time and I'm envious of your good fortune.
;O)

Sounds like a great encounter. I need a good urban session. I get so little of that these days with a 3 and 1 year old.

Great portrait of a great PBaser. I hope I get to see him in action some day, I'm pretty amazed with some of the street shots he's gotten. BV

Agree with Frank here, it's always nice to connect a face with the Pbaser's name.
Wonderful portrait, Sam..... and hey, nice to meet you Jean-Pierre Bijouard !! (V)

always great to another Pbaser...to put a face alongside of a name in your mind...nice shot of Jean-Pierre Sam....V
parallaxes aka Jean-Pierre Bijouard31-Aug-2009 12:05
Yes, Pbase is a very convenient way to share our experiences, our passion (maybe a vice for my part!) for the photography, to travel all around the world ... but also the wonderful opportunity to meet our fellows Pbaser in the "real world" ... and it's great ... already the third time (should I start a gallery?) for me...
Hey Sam, you told all about our meeting ... just want to add that it sounded like a reunion!
My ego cryies for mercy ( :^) ) but I'm really touched and honored by your kinds words!
We'll join my friend ... in Paris or in NVYC :^)
