Once again you showcase people viewing other people's work.

Other work ? People looking at public annoncements.

You know what ? But everything in the street is not my work.
Trees, buildings, cars, and much more.

Can I shoot them or not ? Please answer...

I'd like to see more of your own work, rather than advertisements
showing the work of others.

You know what ? I take pictures that I like, if you don't like to see
them, don't click in the link !

It's so easy...

There is a flip side to that coin.
If you can't take honest critique, don't post your pics.

You probably wouldn't like my answer.

Flowers in B/W. That's just wrong.

What a mess! That's the kind of artsy-fartsy crap I'd like to see you
move away from.
You say that you takes pics of what you like. Good for you, if that's
true.
What I see, however, is your constant attempt to take the type of pics
that you think look "artsy." There is nothing artistic about taking
pics of shadows on a wall.
Anyone can take pics of shadows; it takes no talent. See?

Maybe it's just me, but I can't understand anyone wanting to view those
pics for more than 2 seconds. I'll admit, I have a bias against most
B/W pics. I like B/W in some instances, however, mainly portraits.
Personally, I see the world in glorious color and prefer most of my
pics that way. But that's just me.

Here is my philosophy on photography: I look at all the beauty in the
world and make a feeble attempt to capture some of it to share with
others. I know that no photo can capture the real beauty of a scene or
place, but the joy comes from the attempt.

I'm not sure what your photo philosophy is.
You live in Paris, which by all accounts is a beautiful city (I've
never been there). But the pics you show us look like they were taken
in WWII Berlin .... dark, gloomy images that make me depressed. Your
color photo of the rose was a welcome change up from what you normally
exhibit. I'd like to see more pics like that, photos that show Paris
as a beautiful place, not a monochrome representation of some Parisian
slum or another boring protest in the streets.

I wish! C'mon Daniel, give us what we want! Go up there at sunset one
evening with some color film. You know you can do it.

I think of the Eiffel tower as a huge tripod.....I bet you can get a
fantastic picture of Paris from the top of that baby......

Oh yeah!! Bret's idea is great! It would fit right into the Mandate
"Tripod Holes". Paris has hundreds of famous places. I could only
imagine the great shots Daniel would take.

The thing of taking other work.... Funny, for sure...

BTW, is it just me or does the color seem a bit subdued in this one?
A joke, right?

No joke at all.

Some of your pics feature advertisements or people admiring the work of
others.
A few of them have you in the background photographing a photographer
while he takes pics.
What if YOU were that photographer? That's the pic I want to see.
Here are some examples, just from your POTW gallery:

Daniel,
I think I can see were Bret is trying
to lead you. See if you can find one
of his postings. It will lead you to his
images. Some of which are wonderful
and some not. The two of you are so far
different in content of images. But, so
close in showing your feelings. The two
of you may never agree on how to capture
a moment in time. But bringing emotion to
your photographs, you both do a great job.
