Bercée par la lueur du violon (Weekend Street/Reflections # 276)

 Lyon, France

Bercée par le reflet dans la vitrine, le monde glisse, flou et fragile ; un double de soi, ombre citadine, dans l’éclat froid d’un verre immobile. (Cradled by the reflection in the vitrine, the world glides, blurred and fragile; a double of oneself, an urban shadow, in the cold gleam of motionless glass.)

                                            Have a great weekend!

Proches, mais des mondes à part (Weekend Street/Reflections #275)

 Paris, France

Two scenes unfold mere feet apart, yet entirely separate. On one side, a lone man stands in quiet solitude, lost in his own thoughts. Just around the corner, a couple lingers at the warmly lit entrance of a Japanese ramen shop, trying to make an important decision.

Though their paths nearly cross, they remain unaware of each other’s existence. Each is absorbed in a private world. In the same physical space, parallel realities play out, one defined by solitude, the other by companionship. 

In the end, the couple stepped inside the restaurant, the man turned and walked away into the night, and I remained the only witness to that brief, unspoken moment on the corner.

It’s May, a perfect time to revisit Chris Marker’s Le Joli Mai, a documentary that unfolds like a page from a nostalgic audio-visual diary of Paris.

                                            Have a great weekend!

Leading Light (Weekend Street/Reflections # 274)

 

London, England

One man. One briefcase. A thousand unanswered questions. Why was the light leading him to the mysterious doorway? 

Earlier this week, I took a free Myers-Briggs personality test on 16personalities and was shocked by its accuracy. It all makes sense now!😀 Feel free to click the link above if you're interested in your personality type. The test takes about 10 or 15 minutes.
