The story behind "C'est Paris" is that in Paris it is polite and you are expected to ask permission to take someone's photograph. However, when you ask permission, the French ususally say, "No." When you don't ask permission, the French usually yell "No." I was touring this portage, one of 14 out of 400 left in Paris, and as I was leaving I figured, what the hell, and I turned around to shoot whatever and whomever I could. As I did, this beautiful woman grabbed this good looking guy, and kissed him, hard, right on the mouth. I have the successive scenes of them walking past me, laughing. Clearly, they knew each other. And, clearly, he was surprised.
I think I'll give this to my boyfriend as a gift for valentines day. Maybe he'll take me to Paris! And maybe I'll just kiss him!
