An Unforgettable Encounter: Capturing Moments Beyond Words in Paris
As the bustling sounds of clinking glasses and lively chatter filled the air of the Parisian restaurant, my friend excused herself to take an important business call. Left alone at the table, I observed the world passing by…
A waft of smoke caught my attention as I sat outside a charming Parisian restaurant. The owner, seated nearby, piqued my curiosity. Despite my limited French, I decided to strike up a conversation. We shared a few laughs, and despite the language barrier, we managed to bridge the communication gap.
A Serendipitous Meeting
A waft of smoke caught my attention as I sat outside a charming Parisian restaurant. The owner, seated nearby, piqued my curiosity. Despite my limited French, I decided to strike up a conversation. We shared a few laughs, and despite the language barrier, we managed to bridge the communication gap.
The Spark of Curiosity
In the midst of our broken conversation, his eyes rested upon my camera. I could see a spark of curiosity ignite within him as he gestured towards it, a question written on his face. As I fumbled to convey that I was a photographer, his eyes lit up, and he made a simple request: a portrait.
Capturing His Essence
Eager to oblige, I adjusted my camera settings and found the perfect angle to capture his rugged and charismatic features. With a click, the moment was immortalized. Handing him the camera, I watched as anticipation filled his eyes. His smile widened as he saw his portrait, revealing a gratitude that transcended any language barriers. He thanked me profusely, mentioning that no one had ever taken a professional portrait of him before.

@ Carrousel du Louvre
Paris is definitely one of my favourite cities in Europe. The architecture everywhere is ethereal, and it seems like every building has its own story. This picture above was taken by my friend at the Carrousel du Louvre; unfortunately, the museum itself was closed this particular day. Reason enough to take another train back soon for a proper museum visit. have you been to experience, and what do you think of the city?
