Yes, these were taken by me, last spring on our trip to Paris.  Please forgive the "lack of quality" of these photos, but I just wanted to share a little of my stay.
Paris was trying very hard to get the Olympic deal in 2012The Tour de Eiffel had a big sign on it and the lights were twinkling...it is so beautiful at dusk.
There is something so beautiful and massive about the Arc de Triomphe.

Bon jour'

On 12/04/1960, a very special man was born.  This man has been an important part of Photographica.

He has encouraged new and old members carefully commenting on almost each and every post, giving advice and kudos.

To me, he has become a dear friend.
I am probably gonna get killed for this, but please join me in showing
AUSTINSPACE,
 how much we appreciate all he does for us!

Happy Birthday Johnny!

We love and appreciate you!

Hello Everyone!
TTEOLM and Smokey, would like to share with their Photographica family the coming of their Little Miss Ava.
 Smokey took this shot of TT during one of her Contractions At this point, they were coming every 5 minutes.  With the hospital 40 miles away, our Beautiful TT was packed up and ready to go.
Join me in wishing Rachel, Phil and Little Miss Ava
only the best!
We love you Lady!

My daughter will be turning 18 next month and I would like to get her a really good digital camera {that I can use too}.  Something {we} can practice with, but not be too expensive to regret spending the money...but I do want something GOOD...  Can anyone give me any advice?  We are both COMPLETE NOVICES!  Thanks....
