10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: The Louvre. I was commenting that the glass pyramid looks pretty stupid when laura pointed out it was designed by an American. I might even discuss that in the little post about the Louvre on luxagraf.
10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: The thing with juxtaposing the modern and the, uh, not modern, is that it somehow seems to cheapen both of them, which is why the pyramid just doesn't work for me. For more thoughts check out The Houses We Live In.

10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: Victory... Unfortunately I jiggled the camera. Still seems that people like it. I guess it looks okay if you stick to the smaller sizes. If you're the type that likes to make your eyeballs bleed reading on the internet, you might enjoy the writing that goes with the images in this set, it's called, The Houses We Live In. Because let's face it I suck at titles.

10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: Raphael.. Le Grande Saint Michel.
10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: This one reminds me of Henry Darger. If anyone can tell the name/artist here, leave it in the comments -- I'd appreciate it.
10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: Eerily modern in both style and depiction. This painting dates from the 14th century.
10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: It's hard to take clear images in the Louvre with guards hovering around all the time. And it's not like I'm using a flash, no paintings were harmed in the taking of these images.
