ink & watercolour illustration, photo inspiration thanks to Eric Tenin
If you love Paris, you must surely by now be aware of Paris Daily Photo. If not,
please visit there post haste and bookmark or subscribe tout de suite, otherwise you are missing out on a daily treat of great magnitude!
Paris Daily Photo celebrated its 5th birthday yesterday. PDP was created by the sweet and friendly Parisian {"yes, it's true!"} Eric Tenin, and the City Daily Photo community grew from there, also thanks to Eric. For five years {and one day}, Eric has been posting a photo of Paris every single day, and in the process, has also become known for taking photos at ground level or from tipsy angles, in spite of never once being tipsy while photographing. Never once. Yesterday, many members of the CDP community honoured Eric by taking their daily photos while lying flat on their stomachs in the middle of traffic, or kneeling while aiming skywards and toppling over like nine pins, thereby creating an extension of the
Tenin Perspective, known as the
Tenin Perspective Phenomenon ~ the likes of which could well be seen again each year around this time. So when you're out and about in your city on 11th March each year, please, do remember to look down in case there's a dedicated City Daily Photo blogger lying prostrate before you while taking a no-doubt-sensational photo.
Today's illustration is a tribute to Eric, based on
his photo taken on Rue Victor Massé, typifying just one example of the Tenin Perspective.
{Thank goodness I chose not to do this in Meep Miniature...} Congratulations on five remarkable years of dedication and generosity of spirit, dear Eric, and wishing you as many more as makes you happy! And on that note...
Happy Francophile Friday to you all!
