Homage to the "grand Charles"
NikonDf & 50/1.8G What Phlippe ! You have a DF ! Wow !
Great mood. BW really works well with this shot. Will I see more of your work here ? I hope so.
Luka Luka, no more pics from here... I took that shot in 2015, I had a Df at this time but I sold it a few months ago.
I've posted that shot because Charles Aznavour has just passed away at age 94 - he was our last great poet/singer... Charles Aznavour. I never connected his name and his appearance. If I recall correctly, he was the 'chansonr' singer in Japan. At least for mail voice. I feel like there were so many movies that his song was featured. The weeping trembling voice. Really bringing back memory from my youths. 94 years. That is a full life. May his soul rest in peace.
Luka Yes Luka, he was widely known in The Land of the Rising Sun. It is very surprising being that song lyrics were the most important element of his work ; he was what we call " un chanteur à texte". Charles was just returning from Japan - where he gave 2 concerts (at 94 !) - when he died.
He was also a fantastic actor. Do you know "Un taxi pour Tobrouk" (I think it's "Taxi to Tobruk" in English) ? That's one of my all time favourite movie.
Philippe,
Oh, no. He got sick from traveling to Japan and giving concert at age of 94 !!
I checked. It seems the movie is titled as 'Taxi for Trbruik'. I shall definitely watch the movie !
