Don Smith, a professional photographer in Paris who runs workshops there and produces weekly
photo magazine Left Bank Lens, offers us an array of photographs that provide an ironic counterpart to July 24, 2005 - A Late Bastille Day in the week's issue. Here Los Angeles looks very French. There, France looks suspiciously American. Photos and text, Copyright © 2005 – Don Smith, All Rights Reserved  Friends in the suburbs invited me to a BBQ for Bastille Day. When you
exit the RER you see some very accurate but fake buildings designed by Disney. It's
really very bizarre.
Just like the 4th of July in the US, a good backyard BBQ involves large amounts of grilled meat. But in
this case it's pork and a spicy North African sausage.
Sebestien takes care of grilling maneuvers while I tell him that it's exactly the same in the US. Flames and
meat somehow, for some reason mean that a man is drawn to cook things.
Just beyond the backyard is an artificial lake and one of Europe's largest shopping malls, and Sebestian takes a moment
to talk to little Arnaud and answer his very important, pressing question.
