Right in the beginning on dA I've experimented a lot with textures - you'll find some on the last page of my 'Featured' gallery. I liked old paper styles particularly. I've moved to more documentary subjects and styles now (architecture, Street), but I may use textures for special projects. It's fun.

The Singing Butler? To be honest, I didn't know him, but I like what he's doing. And I would like what he's earning too.
After taking that picture, I found out that HCB shot a famous portrait of Jean-Paul Sartre only a few metres from that spot. So I was walking in famous footsteps, although the framing was very different.

He's a local boy. Terrible painter, but the public have no taste

Hmmm, it was sunny when my wife and I crossed that bridge... We got the rainy weather pictures in Berlin though...coming soon.

I look forward to those. I've never been there, but to me Berlin seems an interesting place.

Between the two, I still like Berlin better, but I'm biased since I kinda speak the language...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not everyone speaks French, and even less people speak the language of the Parisians.
I haven't seen Berlin yet, but it's high on my list.

There are plenty of English speakers in West Berlin, but most native East Berliners speak better Russian... Overall though, you don't need to speak much if any German to get around Berlin.

The lowest grades I ever got in school were for German, but thankfully I caught up.

LOL. I can only speak about 3 words of Russian, so I'll stick with German for now.

Very nice street photo, Eric. I think the people in it make for the street category more than the architecture in my opinion, despite that being a stunning place.
You also chose the title according to that.

I've put it into Street, we'll see what happens. Thanks!

Wonderfull
A bit shaky, but somehow that really fits in here.
I like the belltower of Saint Germain sticking out behind the Institut de France as well...and the chimneys.

Happy memories. 
I just had an amazing coincidence: I opened a kind of botanic encyclopedia, more than 1000 big pages and the entry on which my eyes fell was ... Encephalartos. Weird.

Thanks a lot, Frenchfox, for the fave too!

Hmm, it does have a vintage style to it, along with the typical atmosphere of a rainy day, conveyed by the umbrellas and the clearly wet surrounding. Though I think it could have been a tad sharper, but that's just my taste I guess
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I'd like it sharper too. I've been toying with various filters, but it would need some masking too.
