parti socialist

rue montorgueil - paris - france

A poignant reminder of the richness and diverse nature of French history; made even more so by the elderly lady looking up at the sign and holding her companion by the arm. Parti Socialist building, Rue Montorgueil, Paris, France.

"Sign Sign everywhere a sign" so goes the song penned by the Five Man Electrical Band. Street signs are wonderful elements for photography as they can put context to the image and while the scenery may not be immediately identifiable, the placement of a sign within the photograph puts an unmistakable 'accent' to the picture. And there is fewer places that provide better context signs than the beautiful city of Paris. The context that the sign places for the image is not only from the wording of the sign, but the nature of the sign and the textures around.
