A Stroll Around Old Nice

As a designer, artist and photographer, I can’t go anywhere without seeing Design, Art and Photography. Nice, France, complies wonderfully by providing a fabulous draw to my eye. The sights are inspiring and stirring. The things that catch my eye are: the signs of former times, contrasts, lush details, old/new, the hand of the maker, classicism/modernism, typographic forms, light/pattern/color/shape.

I spent two brief days in Nice, alternating between wedding celebrations and city explorations. What’s clear is that it didn’t FEEL like Italy. It felt like a different country, though I was only just over the border. Yes, it looked different… but it felt like a different place, too. I’ll have to ponder this more and put it into words during my next visit.
