Art on the streets of Paris

If you graffiti lover, Paris is not gonna disappoint you..

These following ones are shot around Canal Saint-Martin. I did have coffee and a brownie down in the cafe, with huge "Elephant" poster.

The following two picture I shot in quite a dodgy area -Barbes - on the way to Monmartre. This was before I realised I was not actually in the safest area and I better stay invisible and get outta here a soon as possible.

Then in Le Marais I found the gate to revolution.. but... It was closed..

So I turned around..

And then some from wandering around..

And the view from Pompidou Centre.

And so I went to Paris

And so yes, I did, I booked my ticket and went to Paris, alone. And I shot this picture blur on purpose, I wasn't drunk or anything. Gonna use it as a teaser, let's see if you continue reading about the rest of the journey.

So first thing I did when I woke up, I went to Pompidou Centre. Amazing space, amazing building, amazing contemporary art. I shot a few pictures.

 You don't wanna see, what she sees.

That last one is an installation "Cafe Little Boy" by Jean-Luc Vilmouth. There are chalks, you can contribute to the art piece. I wrote "Out and proud" on a chair. It was relevant to the cacophony in my brain that day anyway.

I continued to d'Orsay museum (Where I was late so didn't make it eventually). but these two men...

On the way to d'Orsay, I stopped by Louvre. I wasn't even planning to go through the trouble of getting inside. One day, I will be ready for it.

I can hardly handle situation outside the museum.  Selfie sticks, pictures of pretending you're holding the pyramid with your two fingers,  they do kill me BUT bringing the frame? I mean, seriously?

Then was a lot of wandering around different parts of the city.

I went to Rue Mouffetard - so nice. Wandered down to Quartier Latin - not so nice, full of tourists. Ended up in Le Marais - my favourite. It ended with some red wine in my blood and camera in my backpack.

Following day, I headed to Canal Saint-Martin. Also, a must-go place, especially if you hate tourists and wanna see some cool places. On the way, I passed the Place de la Republique - that's where Charlie Hebdo demonstrations took place.

And then the canal...

After that I went up to Rosa Bonheur cafe. Then I took a very dodgy route to Monmartre and shot this picture, only. Weird no? But I really can't deal with tourists, I lose every single bit of motivation to click the shutter.

The day ended on Coraline's rooftop, freezing in the wind, drinking cider and watching the most beautiful sunset, behind Eiffel tour.

And then came the last day. I didn't go anywhere in particular. Just wandered in the streets. Mostly in Le Marais area. It was a sunny, warm, beautiful day.

And the following morning, I woke up very early, at dawn, to catch my train back. This was the view from the window.

Josh Hartnett for Real!

Some time in December, on a Sunday morning I went to Columbia Road Flower Market to buy an old chest.. On a very busy market, among many many people, I spotted him and followed him.. He entered the shop, where I bought my chest. (I'm not implying that it's a sign or anything. I'm just saying)..

I stood outside and waited.. And of course he came out... 

And he saw my camera and got into another store right away.. But I got his unhappy face.. Quite pleasing to make them a lil unhappy..

Watch (out) the cunts!

"Babe, watch the cunts.." She means these...

Sex workers, performance artists, porn stars and their supporters ... They gathered near parliament for sexual freedom... to protest agains new porn rule which bans some sexual activities. Like face-sitting.. (as life-endangering?) then what's the better way to protest agains face-sitting being banned, if not to face-sit? so they did..

"Cunt is the new funk" - that tattoo reads.. (I didn't get THAT close... but asked later) She is a UK porn star, Andie Macario, 25. She says that law affects her and what she does as a porn star and as an artist who sometimes makes quite graphic work. "I'm here because it affects and censors me as well and also just for sexual freedom - People should be allowed to watch whatever they want."

"They made me fuckin angry!" - said a 24-year-old performance artist Ashley Bailey. "I'm not in the sex industry but I have been. And a lot of my art is about my sexuality and about me previous experiences in sex industry and about my feelings and my ability to express my identity..."

"We dont have good enoug sex education as it is and this is the world saying, - 'This is what's bad!' this is their sex education. And it's very offensive." - said Ashley.
