For this edition of the safari a newcomer joined Khnoum (click here for Khnoum's blog) and me: meet Khnoum's friend Jürgen, who runs a photography business in Germany.
Our themes were Isolation, Magic, and Startling.
If you'd like, you're welcome to guess who took which shots. We each took one shot for each theme.
Isolation:
4 layers of isolation
...In the crowd
Downtown Paris 6pm
Startling:
Shh!!
Reach out and touch
Reaching 4 startling
Magic:
Music shop magic
Praying for magic
Escher's haunted cat
(if you stare long enough, the ghost appears.. So try not to stare!)
PS it turns out the specter only appears if you enlarge the image and then stare at it. So you should all be safe! : j

If you're like me and you missed the tale of the lost film that came to an end in March, watch the saga unfold through these 3 videos:
