When we finished talking about pinhole photography with one of the guards, I asked her if there were a lot of people inside the museum, as it looked to me like there's a huge crowd. She told me, not at all: it's only twenty thousand per day. I said, wow, that's a lot for me! Smiling gently, she explained to me that usually the limit is at forty, so it's two times less...

Midday at the Louvre...
Midi au Louvre...
Would have loved to have had a wide angle on at the moment to capture the people and the beam... but if I would have changed the lens, the light would have gone.
J'aurais bien aimé avoir un objectif grand angle sur mon appareil à ce point ... mais si j'aurais changé l'objectif à ce point, la lumière aurait disaparru ...

La pyramide du Louvre est une pyramide constituée de verre et de métal, située au milieu de la cour Napoléon du musée du Louvre à Paris, où se situe le hall d’accueil. Commandée par le président de la République François Mitterrand en 1983, la pyramide a été conçue par l'architecte sino-américain Ieoh Ming Pei. La structure, qui a été entièrement construite en métal, s'élève à 21,64 mètres sur une base carrée de 35,42 mètres de côté et pèse environ 95 tonnes, est composée de 603 losanges et 70 triangles en verre, a été inaugurée le 4 mars 1988 et ouverte au public le 1er avril 1989 et est la première grande construction à avoir été réalisée en verre feuilleté. Bien que la pyramide ait suscité une grande controverse lors de la présentation de son projet en 1984, elle est devenue au début du XXIe siècle la troisième œuvre du Louvre la plus appréciée après La Joconde et la Vénus de Milo.

Louvre is one of the world's largest museum and also a well-known landmark of Paris. Located on the right bank of the Seine, this world class museum is a former royal palace and was the actual seat of power in France before Louis XIV decided to move his political powers to Palace of Versailles. Nonetheless he still uses Louvre as a place to store his private art collection. So that is how the Louvre began to becoming a world class museum
Known locally as Musee du Louvre, it houses the most renowned painting - the Mona Lisa, and masterpieces like the Winged Victory of Samothrace and Venus de Milo, and more than 380000 objects as well as 35000 works of art. The place is so enormous that you need a game plan when you visit. You could spend days there if you were to look and digest each artwork and exhibition thoroughly. Go early to avoid long queues at the ticketing counter. If you are into art and history, make it a long trip as you will not be disappointed. But if you plan just for a short visit, I would recommend going straight to the 1st floor of the Denon wing. There, you can see masterpieces by da Vinci including the Mona Lisa, multiple works of Raphael and other huge paintings from the 17th Century Upwards. Other exhibitions and items that are interesting to see is the Napoleon apartment. You will certainly be impressed with its splendor and it is a definite must for any visitor.

Paris is one of my favorite cities and visiting the Louvre is a must everytime I am in Paris. It was a cold November day when I caught this shot, but the Louvre was still amazing - and the lines to get in were still long!

It is currently part of a permanent collection of Egyptian antiquities in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Here’s another photo from the amazing PhotoWalk in Paris. This was supposed to be the end of the walk, but it ended up being the halfway point!
In post-processing this one, I made the Louvre feel a little more warm and inviting, while the outside stayed a bit more cold and foreboding. I edited this one in front of a live class in Christchuch… I hope people enjoyed that bit ! :) Not all of my edits were successful that day, but I think this one turned out alright.

Winged victory of Samothrace
(Nike of Samothrace)
Parian marble 190 bc
Louvre Museum
The Victory of Samothrace is a marble sculpture by an unknown artist of the Hellenistic era found in the temple of the "Great Gods" or Kaveri in Samothrace, it represents the goddess Nike with wings and has been exhibited in the Louvre Museum since 1884. It is one of three winged Nikes found in the temple of Samothrace.
The other two are exhibited, the first, which is a Roman copy and was found by Austrian archaeologists, in the "Kunsthistorisches Museum" in Vienna and the second, which was found by the American expedition of Karl Lehmann and Phyllis Williams-Lehmann in 1949, in the archaeological museum of Samothrace. Lehmann and his wife later (in 1950) found in excavations and parts of the right hand of the "Victory of Samothrace"
A few months later, the same pair of archaeologists also found fingers of the right hand of the same Nike in the aforementioned Austrian museum, which had them unregistered and did not know they belonged to her.
Her right palm was reconstructed revealing that she was not holding a trumpet as many had previously believed and is also on display at the Louvre in a separate display case near the statues.

Η Νίκη της Σαμοθράκης είναι μαρμάρινο γλυπτό άγνωστου καλλιτέχνη της ελληνιστικής εποχής που βρέθηκε στο ναό των «Μεγάλων Θεών» ή Καβείρων στη Σαμοθράκη, παριστάνει φτερωτή τη θεά Νίκη και εκτίθεται στο Μουσείο του Λούβρου από το 1884. Είναι μία από τις τρεις φτερωτές Νίκες που βρέθηκαν στο ναό της Σαμοθράκης.
Οι άλλες δύο εκτίθενται η μεν πρώτη, που αποτελεί ρωμαϊκό αντίγραφο και το βρήκαν Αυστριακοί αρχαιολόγοι, στο μουσείο “Kunsthistorisches Museum” της Βιέννης και η δεύτερη, που βρέθηκε από την αμερικανική αποστολή του Karl Lehmann και της Phyllis Williams-Lehmann το 1949, στο αρχαιολογικό μουσείο της Σαμοθράκης. Ο Lehmann και η σύζυγός του βρήκαν αργότερα (το 1950) σε ανασκαφές και τμήματα του δεξιού χεριού της «Νίκης της Σαμοθράκης» .
Λίγους μήνες μετά το ίδιο ζευγάρι αρχαιολόγων εντόπισε και δάχτυλα του δεξιού χεριού της ίδιας Νίκης στο προαναφερόμενο αυστριακό μουσείο, που τα είχε ακαταχώρητα και δεν γνώριζε ότι ανήκαν σε εκείνην.
Η δεξιά παλάμη της ανασυστάθηκε αποκαλύπτοντας ότι δεν κρατούσε σάλπιγγα όπως πολλοί πίστευαν μέχρι τότε και εκτίθεται επίσης στο Λούβρο, σε χωριστή βιτρίνα κοντά στα άγαλμα

Quai de Conti.
This is a very classic image of the quays along the Seine with the famous riverside bouquinistes bookstalls and the imposing buildings of the Louvre museum and the Pont des Arts in the background, on a rainy day.

Pont des Arts
Paris October 2021
Revisiting after only 6 weeks showed me a Paris with a different vibe: autumn. It is a joy to see the parks' changes and take advantage of the low sun, photography-wise.
But above all, it brought me back in touch with Léa, the beautiful young woman I met in September when I asked her for a photo (“nightwalkers”) along the Seine. That evening together only lasted a few hours but turned out to be enough for her to come back to Paris for two days.
The days flew by and spending time together again felt like knowing each other for a long time; a confirmation of what we experienced during that evening.
The many laughs and beautiful conversations, enjoying wine in Jardin des Tuileries, discovering Japanese cuisine (for me) and also learning more about her passion for archaeology in the Louvre.
Of course, there were some photoshoots too!
It turned out she's getting more relaxed when I point my camera at her. These photoshoots are not about using different outfits but purely about her appearance by keeping it simple. I like that.
These two days were undoubtedly the most special and fun I’ve ever had in Paris. Amazing what a random encounter can lead to.
Let it be continued…
