Your stunning photo of Paris or Buenos Aires, show it to me

June 4, 2010 2:52 PM

I need an awesome photo of either Paris or Buenos Aires that I can give as a gift.

Ideally, both visually stunning and fairly quickly recognisable as of the place, but not too hackneyed.

I'm personally leaning towards a landscape, but the main criteria is that the photo should be awesome, so feel free to vary it up a bit.

I realise that I will probably be paying for this in some form (either licensing + printing or simply as a print), so that's cool. Royalty-free stuff also equally welcome etc., as I don't have a huge budget for this (is $100-$150 feasible? I hope so).

So, can anyone point me to some online?

I like istockphoto.com. They have a really good keyword search capability. I took a look at a few shots of Paris (they've got over 14,000) and liked this one, this one, and this one, too. My picks are probably not stunning enough, but a closer search would probably find something you could use.

Eugene Atget for Paris. Not hard to find prints.

Never mind. My interpretation of how to insert links is apparently busted. It's a great shot though.
