Immediately across the Seine River from the Eiffel Tower sits the beautiful park of The Trocodéro, which is also the site of the Palais de Chaillot. Many thousands gather each day to enjoy the grand views of the commemorative structures, the peaceful greenery of the park, or to gaze upwards at the Eiffel Tower which lords over this portion of Paris.
For this fashion session, we chose to make ourselves as indigenous as possible and do as the Parisians do: Sit on a bench and enjoy watching the tourists and sight-seers pass by. Of course, to make this work, you must strike the pose that we have here! 😀
All of a sudden we (the models and Jerry the photographer) became one of the sights that the tourists were gawking at. It was actually a lot of fun, turning a photo session into a surreal but utterly enjoyable experience. We absolutely loved it. 🙂

Ulysses - “Formidable”!! You know what? I like that word! I think it very appropriately describes the quiet power of this image.February 19, 2007 – 10:34 AM
Marie & Sal - This one is tres formidable! Very nice you two!February 19, 2007 – 10:32 AM
Ulysses - Oui, oui, Stephanie! hahahah! I know what you mean. Jerry kept asking me to “dial down” the smiles so that he could create something entirely different than my USUAL self. It took a little while to resist my natural inclination. This is one of my favorites because here I have this beautiful woman lying across my lap in her vintage clothing, shoes, and fur. And I look as if this sort of thing happens every day! 😀
Cracks me up!February 19, 2007 – 10:10 AM
Stephanie - It almost bugs me out to see so many pictures of Ulysses without those pearly whites. Tres sophistique! Love the attitude and the wardrobe… makes me think old school gangster.February 18, 2007 – 8:55 PM
