Dear Friends, In this, my third digital magazine, I salute white in all its applications: building overdoors, windows, doors, walls, staircases, statues, china and flowers. Paris being the location of most of the photos. I’m sorry to say that I did not note down what street these buildings were on so the exterior details could be found again. The locations that I know are listed on the last page. By now you know I’m crazy about architectural details and you can find so many fabulous ones in Paris.

My love of white has deepened with age. I used to think white was for people who couldn’t make a color choice.

Now I appreciate its purity, serenity and the elegance of its many shades. I hope you enjoy my passion for white.

In this issue I have used little text and just let the photos speak for themselves. Your comments and discussion are always welcome.
