CINEMA CHIENS 


For years now John has urged me to photograph the varied, ubiquitous dogs of Paris.  So today as we were walking back from lunch he was delighted to spot a pack of canines.  These were certainly not wild dogs, au contraire, these pampered pooches were well trained movie actors being filmed in front of Cathédrale de Notre-Dame des Victoires along with actresses in a variety of fur coats.  




I am always amazed by the casual attitude here... When I asked if I could photograph the hounds, their handler not only agreed, but instructed them to LOOK at me...












The cast and crew seemed to welcome the gawkers strolling through the set as they made their calculations and wardrobe changes....













Paris - always a surprise around the corner....

The french have no fear of the camera...they bask in the reflected light of their image on the lens.
