Could not see the Lady's face though... a mirror would have proven useful.

Enjoyable series.  The second series could be a bit more challenging.  ;)

By the way, who else wants to illustrate the "premier livre" ? my contributions here are stock photos (but for the first one, taken with the title in mind). The ladies in the second shot are genuine baroque performers, but actually playing some Italian music IIRC. And the dancers are busy with tango, which is not exactly the rythm an temp of Debussy's "mouvement"... making a true series with adequate homogeneity would be reason enough to re-take this challenge.

The second series titles are, for reference:
Cloches à travers les feuilles (mélancolie diffuse) - bells (ringing) through the foliage
Et la lune descend sur le temple qui fut - the moon setting on temple ruins
Poissons d'or - goldfish, as a matter of fact

I'd love to, because of the very character of this lovely series of pieces by Debussy (or his music in general).  Unfortunately, I don't have any photos in stock for the purpose right now...

Then, what about fresh ones. Assuming you got time of course... I happen to be listening to Debussy (complete piano by Alain Planès), helps me forgetting about the organ playing.

Why not!  Collecting images based on, or inspired by the themes of Debussy pieces is a wonderful concept for the photography.

Unfrotunately, the summer heat in Tokyo is so violent that my desire to make images is tend to be defeated...

Nevertheless, there are tranquil moments early in the morning.  Now I'm listening to Images performed by Michelangeli that I bought years ago...  Thanks for the reminder.

Michelangeli... well, illustrating *his* version of Images might be intimidating. A Michelangelo seems required.

No need to be scared, I would think.  You have a native and direct connection to Debussy...
