My eye was not behind the lens, nor in front of the lens, but just one of those who got a thrill from the end product of the union between the eye and the object of the eye. Tad Beckman of Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, California, describes photography as art in this way: “There are three fundamental components of what we call art. First, is the artist; second, is the medium; and The 15th edition kicked off October 27th with more than 90 exhibitions, seminars, conferences and films at museums, galleries and other venues all over the city. American photographers have a rather impressive showing. The Bibliothèque Nationale de France, site Richelieu is showing 320 photographs taken during the 1970s by American photographers (through January 25, 2009), such as Diane Arbus, Mary Ellen Mark, Gary Winogrand, Lewis Baltz and others you’ll recognize if you’re at all familiar with those behind the lens whose work marked an era. “L’Art de Lee Miller” at the Jeu de Paume, site Concorde on until January 4, 2009, is well worth a detour. I saw these same beautiful images in San Francisco this past Summer in the showing at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). If you’ve never had the pleasure of visiting the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, then now is a good opportunity to see his work along with the work of “Walker Evans, American Photographer” (on until December 21st). Part of the celebration includes the annual “Paris Photo” Fair opening tomorrow (November 13-16) at the Carrousel du Louvre with about 100 international galleries and the “Salon de la Photo” also opening tomorrow (November 13-17) at the Parc des Expositions, sponsored by the SIPEC (Syndicat des entreprises de l’Image, de la Photo et de la Communication). So, whether you prefer to have your eyes behind the camera lens or to be the object of the lens, or one of those who just gets a thrill from the end product of the union between the eye and the object of the eye…do not miss the “Mois de la Photo” in Paris and all it has to offer to heighten your visual sense.

Americans looking to purchase property in France will need to purchase Euros in order to complete an acquisition. In today’s volatile currency markets, a small change in the currency rates, coupled with the high commission charged by most banks can make an enormous difference in the net Euro amount received when converting your currency. Depending on the size of purchase, this could make a tangible difference of several thousand dollars; money you may prefer to put towards starting your new life in France! Naturally, securing the very best rate of exchange becomes all important. The solution is HIFX. Visit FrenchPropertyLoan.com/currencyonlineconvertor.html to learn more.

P.S. The crew from House Hunters International (HGTV), three good-looking and personable guys (including one Frenchman who transplanted himself in Los Angeles many years ago to develop his videotography career), is here once again filming the completion of the second program in which we’ve had the pleasure of participating, featuring Mary Schiller and her husband, Jeff Ballinger, New York residents who came for a whirlwind search (only six days) to find a pied-à-terre that would make the perfect ‘home-away-from-home’ and a profitable vacation rental on a small (by Paris standards) budget. It will be a few months before it will airs, and of course, we’ll keep you posted, but for now, if you’d like to see our last House Hunters International Episode (HHINT-402), “Settling Down in Paris,” visit
