Crap Stats
Written by Sab Will-Paris Set Me Free   
sab_will_crap_statsI've already sounded off about this unhappy woman in my local park (park Montsouris in the 14th arrondissement), callously suggesting that she could be the crappiest statue in Paris. I'm now forced to modify that judgment: I'm now absolutely convinced that my first impression was correct!

 

Bizarre proportions, careless finish and, let's face it, she's no Rodin either. And, quite honestly, I'd far rather she'd kept her clothes firmly on...

To my credit, I reckon, I looked for an inscription of some sort to explain this affront to my sensibilities. Some words were illegible and some others mention 'les Hellenes de Paris' but i can't be bothered finding out what that's about.

Funnily enough, a friend tried to defend 'Helen' by evoking an attempt to reproduce the 'pseudo-naïve realism of (get this)... Rodin!!! But then he suggested, rather childishly I feel, that the real reason I don't like her is because she's got small tits... I mean, honestly, do I really come across as that shallow..?

 

 

Paris photographer Sab Will invites you to share his unique view of the city he loves. Paris Set Me Free captures Sab's personal observations, which rub shoulders with photographic analysis in his eclectic and sometimes irreverent 'snapshots' of life in the French capital. Paris & I is a little side project of Sab Will's where he points his iPhone's pathetic lens at all things Paris (such as this picture) and pontificates about the results. Priceless. For his complete bio, look here.

Hi there, Girl On The... Oh, you've gone. Well never mind, thanks for the comment, and can I just ask you one question..? Did you realise that there's a Girl On The Run in this pic?!
