For some reason, when I got to Paris, I found myself taking pictures of the street signs there. I don’t know why really….maybe it was for proof that I actually walked on the Champs-Élysées…
Or perhaps it was how pretty the signs look on the stone background…….
It could be that I liked how the shadow of the tree leaves danced upon the wall…
Maybe I wanted to bike at warp speed down rue Saint Vincent like Amelie Poulin…..
Or maybe Villa reminded me of Italy….
I know why I liked these..just look at the details on these signpost that announce the little walkways…
So I take pictures of street signs. Some find it weird. I am sure Parisians were looking at me rather strangely when I was snapping these! Don’t get me wrong I do take other photos, but on this trip I took alot of street signs. And I do ask myself..why these? Why these signs and not the other 12,000 street signs in Paris. I guess I will chalk it up to a feeling that I had when I saw the sign. But I ask you…is it really that strange? I am sure when you travel, each of you has something that you are drawn to or that you like taking pictures of… you look at your pictures and think, why was I drawn to taking pictures of ______. Birds, sunsets, skyscrapers,dogs. Everybody has something. I am asking you to help me not feel so strange. Tell me, what are some of the things that you take pictures of? Why are you drawn to those particular things?
