Un million d’histoires dans une seule métropole racontées d’un million de façons différentes, tel est le leitmotiv de Kevin M Dolman, l’homme qui se cache derrière compte Instagram @midlifeinparis. Passionné de photo, il a ouvert un compte Instagram où il a plus de 27 000 abonnés et même un blog où il retranscrit l’histoire de chaque photo. L’ américain, agé d’une cinquantaine d’années, a appris la photo seul dans les rues de Paris, où il a déménagé il y a 4 ans.

Amoureux de notre belle capitale, le jeune américain photographie la ville lumière sous tous les angles. Vieux couples assis sur un banc, square arboré, monuments historiques ou encore rues pavées du Marais, rien n’échappe à son œil de lynx. Ces photos sont tellement touchantes et emprunt de douceur qu’elles nous font redécouvrir Paris sous un autre angle. En l’espace de quelques clics, Kevin M Dolman nous fait voyager sans bouger de notre canapé.

Son talent n’est pas passé inaperçu puisque ses clichés seront exposés à l’occasion d’un vernissage photo aux Folies Bergères à la mi-janvier; aux côtés de deux autres artistes.

Allez, on va poser un like !

“République Reunion” | 2018.01.02 Embrace the New Year! Place de la République is one of the city’s main nerve centers; a huge plaza that joins 6 major boulevards, 5 metro transit lines, and – in this instance – 2 longing hearts. From an aesthetic perspective the square is rife with Parisian imagery: Métro signage, Haussmann structures, presse kiosques, a dominating statue of Marianne leading the revolution, and makeshift memorials to those who have passed in the pursuit of liberté, égalité, fraternité…but an anxious lover notices none of this. His eyes seek only his amour who first ascends the stairs, then climbs into his arms, and now brings a smile to our lips. The media tends to present République only when it flows with angry protests or mournful rallies…let us never forget that there is also joy. _____________________________________ #challengerstreets, #life_is_Street, #streetleaks, #street_perfection, #everybodystreet, #Streetlife_Award, #ig_street, #lensculture, #lensculturestreets,  #magnumphotos, #hikaricreative, #apfmagazine, #TASCHEN,  #burnmagazine , #SPiCollective, #pariscartepostale, #streets_storytelling,  #streetdreamsmag, #ourstreets, #seemyparis, #thestreetphotographyhub, #seulementparis, #super_france, #topparisphoto, #VivreParis, #ParisCityVision, #travelwriter, #friendsinperson, #people_infinity, #secretsdeparis

“Atteindre la Tour” | 2017.12.18 Paris is an ancient town that continues to enchant the young. Her family came to France expecting Disney to charm the children, but one afternoon on l’Île de la Cité introduced this adorable fille to a truly magical kingdom. With Nutella in her veins and a beret upon her tête, she collects souvenirs and memories (pas les mêmes choses en anglais!) of the day she became a Parisienne at heart In the years to come, the young lady will age, the city shall remain the same, and the love affair between them will grow ever stronger. Welcome to the club, ma petite. _____________________________________ #challengerstreets, #life_is_Street, #streetleaks, #street_perfection, #everybodystreet, #Streetlife_Award, #ig_street, #lensculture, #lensculturestreets,  #magnumphotos, #hikaricreative, #apfmagazine, #TASCHEN,  #burnmagazine , #SPiCollective, #pariscartepostale, #streets_storytelling,  #streetdreamsmag, #ourstreets, #seemyparis, #thestreetphotographyhub, #seulementparis, #super_france, #topparisphoto, #VivreParis, #ParisCityVision, #travelwriter, #friendsinperson, #people_infinity, #parisianplanet

“Mille Feuille” | 2017.11.27 Seizing the fleeting peace of a napping child, she mentally escapes motherhood’s demands and Parisian pressures via a foliage-filled vantage point in Parc des Buttes Chaumont. Buttes Chaumont is an island of serenity in the midst of urban environs – its surprising confines filled with waterfalls, trees, a lake, a cliff and undulating topography left behind by an excavated quarry. It’s easy to lose one’s self and forget you’re in the middle of a city, until autumn’s tumbling leaves lower the curtain between worlds…or the child wakes and demands a spin on the manège. Summer is gone but Paname is no less beautiful — like any fashionable Parisienne, she’s simply changed her outfit. _____________________________________ #challengerstreets, #life_is_Street, #streetleaks, #street_perfection, #everybodystreet, #Streetlife_Award, #ig_street, #lensculture, #lensculturestreets,  #magnumphotos, #hikaricreative, #apfmagazine, #TASCHEN,  #burnmagazine , #SPiCollective, #pariscartepostale, #streets_storytelling,  #streetdreamsmag, #ourstreets, #seemyparis, #thestreetphotographyhub, #seulementparis, #super_france, #topparisphoto, #VivreParis, #ParisCityVision, #huffpostgram, #friendsinperson, #people_infinity, #parisianplanet

“Drageurs” | 2017.11.13 The fabulous Marais is both fashionable and functional, swarming with tourists and locals alike….so how can we tell them apart? Visitors generally tread the ancient streets slowly, laden with shopping, agog whilst absorbing historic buildings and boutiques. Those casually stationed on sidewalks ignoring all architecture but focused on the passing scene like a private parade for their voyeuristic pleasure (perhaps a buffet, suggests an over-inflated ego)….they are likely locals. People-watching is not always rocket science. Then again, there could be little doubt in assessing these self-assured gents – their style, bearing, and aura scream PARIS; if not by birth then by spirit.  Two more entries in our ongoing series seeking the Frenchiest French Guy In All Of France. _____________________________________ #challengerstreets, #life_is_Street, #streetleaks, #street_perfection, #everybodystreet, #Streetlife_Award, #ig_street, #lensculture, #lensculturestreets,  #magnumphotos, #hikaricreative, #apfmagazine, #TASCHEN,  #burnmagazine , #SPiCollective, #pariscartepostale, #streets_storytelling,  #streetdreamsmag, #ourstreets, #seemyparis, #thestreetphotographyhub, #seulementparis, #super_france, #topparisphoto, #VivreParis, #ParisCityVision, #travelwriter, #friendsinperson, #people_infinity, #parisianplanet
