Autumn Leaves

My good old, trustworthy Nikon camera broke, and I couldn’t get it repaired. The only thing, not covered by the insurance (which no one told me), was damage to the card reader slot (the small pins), and the repairs would cost me 1/3rd of the original price of the camera. So my photography went a bit dead. Fortunately I have been able to borrow my girlfriend’s Canon, so expect new images to appear soon, although I haven’t been that busy with it lately.

{{Sigh}} I wish I had the funds to buy myself a decent digital SLR

These images were taken on a trip to Paris in the autumn. A beautiful stretch next to Champs-Elysées.

  1. Les Feuilles Mortes

    Oh, je voudais tant que tu te souviennes
    Des jours heureux où nous étions amis
    En ce temps-là la vie était plus belle
    Et le soleil plus brûlant qu’aujourd’hui.

    Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
    Tu vois, je n’ai pas oublié
    Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
    Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi.

    Et le vent du Nord les emporte,
    Dans la nuit froide de l’oubli.
    Tu vois je n’ai pas oublié,
    La chanson que tu me chantais…

    Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
    Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi,
    Mais mon amour silencieux et fidèle
    Sourit toujours et remercie la vie.

    Je t’aimais tant, tu étais si jolie,
    Comment veux-tu que je t’oublie?
    En ce temps-là la vie était plus belle
    Et le soleil plus brûlant qu’aujourd’hui.

    Tu étais ma plus douce amie
    Mais je n’ai que faire des regrets.
    Et la chanson que tu chantais,
    Toujours, toujours je l’entendrai.

    C’est une chanson qui nous ressemble,
    Toi tu m’aimais, moi je t’aimais
    Et nous vivions, tous deux ensemble,
    Toi qui m’aimais, moi qui t’aimais.

    Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s’aiment,
    Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit
    Et la mer efface sur le sable
    Les pas des amants désunis.

    C’est une chanson qui nous ressemble,
    Toi tu m’aimais et je t’aimais
    Et nous vivions tous deux ensemble,
    Toi qui m’aimais, moi qui t’aimais.

    Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s’aiment,
    Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit
    Et la mer efface sur le sable
    Les pas des amants désunis

  3. English version

    The falling leaves drift by my window,
    The autumn leaves of red and gold;
    I see your lips, the sommer kisses,
    The sun burned hands I used to hold.
    Since you went away the days grow long,
    And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song,
    But I miss you most of all, my darling,
    When autumn leaves start to fall.

    (Melody is freely interpreted rhytmically)

  4. ah yes… the Canon EOS 20D is a must have… but until we get rich the EOS 300D might be what you need :-)

  5. Massi… you shoot great pix – love ‘em. You might wanna check this Canon out… i’m considering buying it soon: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0308/03082005canoneos300d.asp

    Oh yes, the 300D isn’t bad at all, although I still can’t afford it. Sam, http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/ uses a 300D with great results.

    The song, ‘Atumn Leaves’ is one of my favourites. Check out (if you can) these versions:

    Bill Evans, album: Portrait in Jazz

    Colcut’s version (Irresistible Force Remix)

    Chick Corea Acoustic Band, album: Live from the Blue Note Note in Tokyo

    Diana Krall’s version is also great.

  7. Hey Massi ..
