French Flag Flying at Half Staff


I'm sure all of you heard that Yves Saint Laurent died last Sunday in Paris. Funeral services were held today in Eglise Saint Roch, in Paris. The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco have designed and developed, in partnership with the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent, the first retrospective spanning the forty years of creation of the Maison de haute couture Yves Saint Laurent. Presented from May 29 to September 28, 2008, the exhibition Yves Saint Laurent focusses on this virtuoso of haute couture, whose unique style blends references to the world of art with allusions to pop culture and social revolution.

I really like your pictures. They give a great sense of the city. The engineering lecture one looked just like it could have been taken in my engineering class some 25 years ago - the subject is definitely more up to date.
