Oh la la Paris

These are some photos that I took whilst in Paris a few years ago, I have played around a bit with the colour of all this pictures and given them an old feel resembling the warm colours of an silent movie. This colour scheme seemed fitting for the feel of Paris maybe due to its historic architecture and also in-keeping with French cinematic aesthetic, even the picture of the modern sport/dance of break dancing has a aged feel to it.

I particularly like the last photo of the male and female embracing, I'm not sure whether it has a loving feel to it or one of over empowerment. I think I question the motives of it because I found this on a larger sculpture known as 'The Gates of Hell' by Musee Rodin or for you Frenchies out there 'La Porte De L'Enfer'. It was by far my favourite piece of art work that I came across whilst in Paris.
