Locals Resting on Seine River Wall Near the Cathedral At Notre Dame in Paris . I was shooting something completely different when this scene just appeared as the lunchtime crowd appeared from the shops up above the river. Looking like an old Willy Ronis ( or Robert Doisneau?) shot I remembered, I had to catch the moment. Ten minutes later it was all gone. JohnBrody.com / John Brody Photography

Vincent van Gogh - Irises In A Vase 1890 also named Iris dans un vase - Painted during his Saint-Remy stay at the sanitarium. Photgraphed in New York, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Some biographical information: Van Gogh, hounded by the villagers in Arles for his illness, decided to move to nearby Saint-Rémy and check himself into the asylum as a voluntary patient. Vincent van Gogh spent one year, the most difficult of his life, at the asylum in Saint-Rémy de Provence. It would also prove to be one of his most creative as an artist. Irises was one of his works during his stay. Thanks once more to brother Theo's continued support, the asylum wasn't so bad. Vincent had a bedroom and a room for a studio. The only treatment was "hydrotherapy" which consisted of two-hour long baths twice a week. When Vincent wasn't suffering from his illness, he was clear-headed and able to work on his art --- JohnBrody.com
