France

On a Sunday afternoon walking in front of Notre Dame I saw a man teaching children how to feed birds. This young girl caught my eye and the joy on her face was incredible. The birds just surrounded her. People who see this photo or purchased it say how great and happy to makes them feel.

Ode to Hopper, this is a small, at the time, Korean restaurant along the Seine River across the river from Notre Dame. This is the first photo I submitted to the Richardson Photography Competition in 2010. I won a first place ribbon in the Cityscape competition.

This is my favorite village in the French Alps. It is an ancient village that protects a large pass between France and Italy. The main feature of the village in a very steep narrow street that runs up the mountain side. This is a flatter street off that main street that runs down to a small square. The photography was shot on a misty fall evening.

The Paris Café was awarded Best of Show in the 2013 Richardson Photography Competition. It may be one the oldest restaurant buildings in Paris. The building is representative of the many buildings and streets that surrounded Notre Dame in the late 1400s and 1500s.

This photograph was taken inside the Pantheon one of those major landmarks in Paris. One of my favorites because you can look in to the gold ball and clearly see what is behind me.
