Marathon Photo Fnac Paris Plage July 23 2011

our Pics for each subject : (1) far left, (2) center, (3) far right

Fnac store is organizing a "Marathon Photo" in Paris which is a competition : by team of two, I was with my "assistant" Julie F., we were given a subject every two hours and we had to bring back a couple of pictures for each subject.

Subject 1) "j'ai 10 ans" (I'm 10 years old)
Subject 2) "Padam padam" ( Edith Piaf song)
Subject 3) "Sous les pavés" ( Underneath the pavement)

(3) far left , photo session on Paris Plages (not part of the competition)

even the cat is having a look at these hot foxes

Lots of walking in the streets of Paris from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM but that was fun especially when there is a photo session for bikinis. I won't tell you that I didn't enjoy it.

some more from our walk in Paris

Christophe @ Festival Fnac Live @ Parvis Hotel de Ville, Paris July 22 2011

CHRISTOPHE @ Festival Fnac Live , Parvis Hotel de Ville
Paris July 22 2011

Too busy to check the other bands on the bill for this free show in front of the Hotel de Ville in the heart of Paris.
French singer Christophe is headlining, we arrived a couple of minutes after the end of the previous band's set and all youngsters are leaving.
Christophe is getting on stage just before 11:00pm with a piano player on his right and a guitar player on his left who's also in charge of keys & electronic effects.
Well when he's not playing his hits , he had a few many years ago, this pop-rock-electro music is ... boring to death.
Curfew at midnight, very average show.

Moriarty + Aaron @ Festival Fnac Live @ Parvis Hotel de Ville, Paris July 22 2011

Moriarty + Aaron @ Festival Fnac Live Day 1
Parvis Hotel de Ville, Paris July 21 2011

Every year in July we have some free concerts, 2nd year in front of the Hotel de Ville in Paris, it used to be nearby by the river but I guess the location was getting too small for the crowd as it was successful. It has lost its charm but there is twice more people.
We get there to see Moriarty as it was running a bit late ( and we were early) we catch Asaf Avidan & the Mojos' last two songs. That was OK

We like Moriarty's country-Folk -Rock, they did a short 45 min set.
they have some goods songs and when they're not goofing around too much they are very enjoyable.
Nice gig.

After a short break, we have French band Aaron, the singer's attracting all the lovely girls down the front and we won't complain.
We just heard their single on the radio, it's OK

At last we have a French band that is working à l'Americaine : They are singing in English , they pay attention to their look ( meaning they don't dress like shit), They have a great light show and the singer knows how to play with the audience.
