Image lit with sun plus an external Canon 580 EX 2 speed light positioned behind subject to define muscles. I believe this may lend itself to a faded blend with another image… Hmmm?

People of Paris #12 features Pigeon Man, also known as the Pigeon Whisperer. It appears as though the gentleman is not thrilled with his role in life and may be thinking that this is one crappy job.
Located in the Notre Dame Cathedral square, there is some history behind this practice. The original Pigeon Man of Notre Dame, Pierre Pradeau came almost every day after his retirement to feed the birds, until he passed away on December 13th, 2009.

Paris street food…we didn’t try the “Ho Dog.” Opted for a French crepe, instead.

You can probably guess that we were NOT in a swanky, high class part of the city. Still, our crepes were yummy filled with local flavor in more ways than one.
