A Walk Through Paris #5
In 2003 my wife, her sister, her friend and I flew to Paris. I was so excited because I had gotten a small taste of France in the ‘70s when I was stationed in Germany and had been dieing to get back. Visually a photographer’s dream shoot location. We were lost as soon as we stepped off the plane. My wife claimed she took 4 semesters of French and passed, yet when spoked to in French and I looked at her she would shrug her shoulders. So none of us spoke French. But we managed. We walked 90% of the time and I carried a back pack with a Nikon N-90s, Nikon 8008s, 20,35,50,135,180, and 500 MM lenses, tons of film, flash, tripod and my trusty Holga. (By the way, I was out of work 4 weeks recovering from a neck injury from carrying this backpack.) I had semi-planned ahead, knowing we were going to walk, for the series “A Walk Through Paris”. As we walked, I shot, crossed items off my list and we walked some more. This series was shot with a Holga camera, held together with a lot of black tape. Processed, scanned and then tinted with my custom sepia like action in Adobe Photoshop.

Your story about re-visiting Paris is fantastic! Your image is incredible… so beautiful; just like Paris. I went to Paris the year before last and wished that we had taken a few more options camera wise. I adore Paris and cannot wait to go back.

This photo is amazing. My daughter, who is actually in school for photography traveled to some places in Europe, Paris being one of them. I would like her to get some copies of her pics and do sepia tone to ones that would be great with the aged look. Especially a lot she took in Rome. Great work!!!

Oh, memories … before I got married, I once spent 6 weeks in Paris, visiting my very first girlfriend, who’s lived there for decades. And, like your wife, I also “learnt” French for 4 years at school. Ha! It was the perfect way to get a Frenchman to speak English. During the day, while my beau worked, I walked the streets of Paris with my camera. You’ve inspired me to dig through the drawers. Not hers, mine. My timber drawers, lol! Love your sepia work, too!
