People of Paris #1 …Lady in Red.

Yes, Paris is well know for its cathedrals, museums and the iconic Eiffel Tower.  Interesting, but  the people are what really make this town tick. Thus begins a series of posts showcasing the people found in this fair city… People of Paris.

A long walk

Click, click, click, the sticks

Rhythm of the path while walking

Lost yet found in thought

I walk…

Click, click, click… walking sticks

The rhythm of the path and breath

From here to there and around the globe…

All you need is love… and light

Wedding dance images are always a favorite since the day is coming to a close and the stress is now gone. Time to relax and enjoy the moment. Add a Canon 580 EX2  off camera flash plus another 580 EX2 on camera bounced off the ceiling synced with Cybersync radio triggers and let the emotions flow.

 May you continue the pursuit of happiness and sometimes pause to just be happy.

Fleeting Moments

Fleeting Moments…

The history and legacy of the Mayan people also appear to be fleeting as tourism and beaches are the key to survival. It is well worth the time to tour the historic sites of Tulum and Chichen Itza with a knowledgeable guide to learn more about their interesting past.  The history of the Mayan people is kept alive through archeological sites such as these.

Floating through life

Same… but different.

artcamino-1070063blend2web

We each walk our own paths in life with a mixture of purpose, pleasure and pain. It seems as though we all “float” along in our journey with each step a temporary moment in time. Both images were captured on the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain. The two hikers are passing through while the floating image is farm woman in Galicia.  As I write this, I’m thinking I should reverse these images. Hmmm…?

All you need is love…

Love-On-the-Prairie
Blended photography by Joyce Meyer

The couple captured in this image appear so passionate for one another and oblivious to the world around them. Photo was taken  in Salamanca, Spain with a little point and shoot camera.  Nothing fancy.  Blended in Photoshop CS5 with prairie grasses captured against the summer sun.

Yep… all you need is love.
