immediately recognized the images that were weaved
into the google doodle.
they were by robert doisneau,
a french photographer who i discovered in the early 1990s.
i completely fell in love with his work
{or rather became obsessed with}
i completely fell in love with his work
{or rather became obsessed with}
so when i saw several of his photos in the doodle
i typed in his name to see why he was being recognized.
if he were were still living, he would be 100 years old today!
if you don't recognize his name or think you know his work,
you might be surprised.
remember this famous photo?
 |
| v-j day in time square, 1945 |
if you are older than 30, you probably do.
his photos are timeless.
they are all black and whites {35mm}
he is known for capturing every day life in paris.
a few more of my favorites:
 |
| le remorqueur du champ de mars, 1950 |
 |
| le baiser {the kiss}, 1950 |
i'm so glad i took a few minutes to browse through mr. doisneau's
beautiful photos and remember him. so thankful for his contribution.
