Down & Out in Paris

Down & Out in Paris, originally uploaded by Paris Set Me Free.

It was as inevitable as my first Lady Eiffel pic i guess: gritty
social commentary comes to the 'Paris and I' blog. Yep, honeymoon
season's over i'm afraid, and from now on i'll be mixing the cutesy
shots with the other Paris reality.

It still hits hard, even after all these years, to see a guy plastered
all over the pavement right in front of your favourite home and garden
improvements store.

i am in Paris, right, and not Calcutta? Yes, there's the metro
whizzing by overhead; there's the French writing on the wall; and
there are the busy Parisians hurrying insouciently by. What else can
you do? What can you do?
