City Daily Photo theme day


Today is the 1st of December and it's a City Daily Photo blog theme day. This month, the community chose (we take a poll every month!) "Taking a photo of a person from the waist down". Luckily last evening I went to the launch of Windows Vista in Paris and, for the occasion, Microsoft invited Le Cirque du Soleil to perform. This pair of legs belongs to one of the acrobats from this fantastic circus...

  3. Whew! "From the waist down..." so many possibilities. Ahem.

    I love the reds of this photo. Was there red lighting, too? It looks as if the parquet floor is pinkish.

    Was she posing for you in this photo?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Yes there was a right light above us and yes she was posing for me ;)

  5. Eric, this month theme is weird. So it makes it extremely interesting! And I can say from the few I've seen so far, creativity has no limit!...

    I am up for a Contest to nominate the best Pic on each Day Theme.
    I've already found the one I will vote for this month...
    Clue #1: it's not you Eric, sorry (although I like you shot ;-).
    Clue #2: it's from a city with a beautiful Opera, a magnificient Bridge and a gorgeous Bay... not in the States.

    Yep, ladies and gentlemen, have your say! Check it out here.

  9. Perfectamente, Eric!!! I just love it! Kudos! And what a treat to see the Cirque perform. We'll await your impressions of Vista, of course. Any MS dignataries on hand? Hope you enjoyed yourself.

  10. Good to see that Parisians have a broader interpretation of the waist, as opposed to the rest of the world. Nice shot!

  11. Did her face look liked a lampshade?

    Windows vista, wow. Can't say I'm looking forward to that one. On the other hand, if they didn't invent newer and bigger Operating Systems (note I didn't say "better) how would the techs keep their jobs? ;-)

  12. How do all know what the theme is in advance?

    ps speaking of below the waist, how about those pictures of Britney Spears? Oh, la, la, la.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Very colorful. Every keeps saying "red" but I see fuschia. Is it not fuschia...is my color messed up on my computer?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Simple colorful and beautiful. Very French :)

    Cheers!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Oh la la...Ca c'est Paris!?!

    Tomate...I love your comment.."Did her face look like a lampshade"!! LOL!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oh, la la indeed, luggi. Who would have thought Paris (Hilton) would be modest by comparison ?

    ReplyDelete
  17. ERIC! You need to re-examine the meaning of "Waist-Down!" Last time I checked...it didn't include two little friends up top! LOL! Couldn't resist...you know MOI! Great shot just the same! ;-)

  18. Très élégant et très parisien ce rouge, j'aime ! J'ai vu le cirque du soleil ici à Sydney il y a qq mois, leur nouveau spectacle est une pure merveille. Vraiment un bon souvenir !

    ReplyDelete
  19. Beautiful and charming. Love that red - and what a great idea you all came up with!

  20. i LOOOVE cirque du soleil!!! they are in washington DC right now and i went to see them over halloween :-)

    neat photo, Eric..i like the pink tones and her pose!

    ReplyDelete
  21. le cirque du soleil est l'un des plus beaux et tres moderne. c'est marrant ta photo me fait penser plustot a une salle de danse des annees 1960.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love the colors in this photo, Eric!

    ReplyDelete
  23. indeed , ooo la la! you must post the face, some day!

    ReplyDelete
  24. No, Eric, i HAVE participated! I've made a small offering at my site, it was just the administration i have messed up on, i don't have the list of participants listed and probably therefore haven't 'entered' properly but i have taken the photo for theme day and you can see it at Cheltenham! It's all great fun and I'm enjoying looking at all the others.

    ReplyDelete
  25. oh, this reminds me I have to buy tickets for next years " dralion " show.

    lovely legs !

    enjoy your weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yes i noticed too that you were clearly wrestling with your camera to keep it below waist level!! Eric! I adore these colours, fuschia, red, orange, all together - fiery! Lovely.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'm so jealous! You had Cirque du Soleil for the Vista launch!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Theme Day is a great idea. Each coffee break takes me somewhere in the world with a different take on 'below the waist'. There are some really interesting interpretations, i'm enjoying it!

    ReplyDelete
  29. oh and i have listed the participants at my site now too! Got there in the end...

    ReplyDelete
  30. Interesting waist down shot starting just below the neck.LOL
    Eric, have you seen the incredible Printemps store ad with the girl dressed in black lace and spikes,tres chic and made to look like the Eiffel tower? And then the Apartment and office tour building designed by a Californian to be a little shorter than Eiffel and be placed in Le Defense renewal area?

    ReplyDelete
  31. That's soooooo, cute (?) - and yes Cirque du soleil is certainly special - lucky you!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Eric, do you have a "thing" for ladies in red? Because I have this lovely, silky, strappy number I could put on and pose for you;-)

    ReplyDelete
  33. ta le look cocotte...
    merci pour tout eric,(on ce comprend), pour le prochain théme pourquoi ne pas proposer juste un regard sur le nouvelle an...
    a prestu è amicizia...

  34. A new year casserole sounds very tasty, especially from Bastia, I wonder if it will snow in Corsica.
    Roll-on le 1er janvier.

  35. You sure do get to the best places in Paris, Eric. Ditto the comments on your interpretation of "waist". I guess it must be a cultural thing, huh? :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I also was subscribed to the launch of Windows Vista but I coudn't go. Great to see cirque du soleil. I love it.

  37. Eric, from the waist down does not mean from the boobs down. :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Isabella ! lol

    Think it's most women's kind of waist too Ham, though for some of us it's a distant memory :(

    OOps Eric people have noticed that your camera travelled upwards completely out of your control. Cameras these days... tut.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Where is Michael's comment? I can complete my day without Michael's comment. OOOps, maybe I missed it.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Not QUITE from the waist down . . .

    Another great shot. The red, oranges, and black--very effective! I also enjoyed reading the eyepreferparis piece about you.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Has the www left out Brazil then? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Just back today to find all of these great photos Eric and, as usual, excellent comments. Will try to read them all, but no promises.

    LOL Lynn! No, Brazil is quite advanced in many areas, but unfortunately, 2 days there for business left no extra time for PDP.

    ReplyDelete
  43. By the way Eric, not quite a red ribbon, but close enough to also remember World Aids Day today.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I know Michael, i was being cheeky! Missed you, that was all!
    You missed some laughs, some spats and some good shots. Catch up time! Welcome back.

  45. Red dress and no head is becoming a theme of this blog.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Eric tu as raison, l'honneteté intellectuelle est le point fort de bv, surtout quand on voit qu'avec le décalage horaire ma photo est sortie bien avant qu'il ait une chance de comparer avec qui que ce soit.

    Par contre toi t'es disqualifié, parce que "from the waist down" ça n'inclut pas les seins - ou alors les parisiennes ont les seins en-dessous de la ceinture, ce que je trouve fort inquiétant... Bon allez je rigole !

    ReplyDelete
  47. Oh Eric, your photos are so lovely. Thank you for that.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Wow! Great shot. It's so Paris! Just like the advertisement on TV and posters.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I don't care what people say, as far as I'm concerned, this counts as "from the waist down" because it's truly Paris. Great choice!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Oooh Cirque. And that's all I really have to add to this. Well, except i like the shot, of course.

    ReplyDelete
  51. bon ben puisque personne n'apprecie mon honnetete intellectuelle ici, je ne ferai plus de commentaires. voila. je boude, na.

    ReplyDelete
  52. so is there a winner for theme day or not? As it's my first, i've no idea can someone fill me in?
