A typical shot from the streets of Paris. Colorful and reflects the never ending possibility of some showers. This shot was taken near the Cathedral Of Notre Dame. The umbrellas belonged to one of the local artists selling their wares along the Seine. For some reason, for me, it captures Paris.
Going to Paris for the umpteenth time to take photos was going to be tricky. i thought about doing the Paris that I know. people, flowers, some iconic images. When I first started shooting the idea was flat. I couldn’t bring myself to get enthused, besides a week was probably not enough to complete any type of project. After visiting some of the more iconic spots an idea hit me like a ton of bricks. Here were all of these people taking photos. Smart phones, iPads, DSLR’s and point and shoots. They got into funny positions, looked up, did some chimping, and it looked crazy. But I did not want to show what they were shooting, I want the viewer to guess. So hopefully, I have enough good images that complete this short project. Here is one image that starts the project.
