22 October 2010 Photos: Comparisons in the Café

I was taking today to sort of stock up my energy for tomorrow, so I didn’t get out much. I did get to the café later in the evening. Didn’t do full setups, but I did some rough comparisons. Hopefully, I can do some better ones later. Part of the issue is working around other [...]

21 October 2010 Photo: Scaffolding Over a Doorway

I was tired, so this was the first/only thing that struck me on my walk. Was ill, as I mentioned in my previous post, so didn’t feel like staying out.

18 October 2010 Photos: Monument of the Bicentennial of the Republic & Spoken Word

So, I was all set to get photographs for yesterday and something came up. No Sunday photos. BUT, I feel that today’s post makes up for it. I went to this monument near the Eiffel Tower that’s full of symbolism and captured some of that to share, while also getting some of the background of [...]

16 October 2010 Photos: Near the Center and the Weekend’s Menu at the Café

Went out for a bit of a stroll before heading into the café. Good mix for today.

15 October 2010 Photos: Nice Evening Out

It was a rainy evening, but a nice time to grab a couple beers with a friend – second beer was at a bar where another friend works. As I was headed over to the Black Dog to hopefully catch another friend to say hello, this was the scene. Oh, and I did get to [...]

14 October 2010 Photos: Teaching and Hôtel de Ville at Night

First photo is a lesson in perspective, just to show how to make someone seem smaller and more fragile vs. a later time when I showed her how to make someone seem larger than life – but we did that with her camera. The others are just a few shots from when I went out [...]

13 October 2010 Photos: Exploring History

I went around with someone to learn more about history in Paris for this video project I’ve been working on. Visited a few places, will need to visit more . . . Here are a few snaps from while we were out: Statue of Mary, mother of Jesus, in Notre Dame Stained glass in Notre [...]

12 October 2010 Photos: Pizza Night

Pizza night always makes me happy.

11 October 2010 Photos: Spoken Word

Another great Monday evening at the Spoken Word open mic readings:

10 October 2010 Photos: Photo Session in the Park

Went to the park about three minutes’ walk from where I live to photograph today. Nice stuff. Looking forward to using it for more. Here are a few of my quick favorites:

9 October 2010 Photos: Café Menu

Here’s the menu served this weekend. Shoulda been there. It was really good . . . :

8 October 2010 Photos: Around in Belleville

Here are some shots from my walk tonight.

7 October 2010 Photos: Out and About at Bastille and la Defense

Working on the history of Paris project means I need to go out and get some images and video footage for the final production. Here are a few I got from one excursion: Statue at Bastille These are the same images, simply rotated. I’m always intrigued how finding different perspectives can really throw us off [...]

6 October 2010 Photo: Colored Glass Facade

As some of you may have read on facebook, I’m thinking about pulling down my blog for a while. Until I make my decision, I’ll try to keep things going as usual.

5 October 2010 Photos: Portraits in Belleville

A friend needed some simple portraits done, so we made our way down to an alley in the neighborhood filled with really colorful graffiti. Made for a nice backdrop. Here are a few from the set.

4 October 2010 Photos: Spoken Word

The autumn season of the Spoken Word in Paris kicked off tonight. I ducked out after halftime to get back to work, but here are some of my photos from the evening.

3 October 2010 Photo: Work in Progress

In the spring, I made a sort of first effort at consolidating everything to one place, but I was still struggling with how exactly to get what I want – and, I still am. However, I’m moving closer to the goal of having my photography portfolio, video projects, blog, etc. all in one place. I’ve [...]

2 October 2010 Photos: Part II: Café

Here’s the second set from today:

30 September 2010 Photos: Trash in the Market

In Paris, there are these great markets that pop up regularly in a few places. Just down the road, they have it twice a week. Tomorrow’s one of the days for it, and as I was walking through the space, I just saw all this crap people had thrown out there. Some of it is [...]

29 September 2010 Photos: Homelessness Sucks

This issue is always a tough one for me. And, the simple fact of the matter is that we all contribute to the woes of this world. We’re human. We sometimes make stupid decisions; the consequences of which we often never know. I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor. I’ve had a place of my [...]

28 September 2010 Photos: Canal near République

Love chillin’ down by the canal. Had a nice walk down to just by République and kicked back for a little bit tonight. Good times. Not so far to walk from here either. I should do it more often.

27 September 2010 Photos: Vacant Stage & Graffiti

Perhaps it was the music I was listening to as I was walking, but I found this empty stage strangely poetic. This image, along with the next, illustrate the contrast I was noticing in street art. Some is angry and rather evil looking. Other pieces are much brighter and happier looking. Just an observation.

26 September 2010 Photos: Experimenting with Digital Pinhole Photography

So, this afternoon, I took a little time and made a pinhole lens for my Digital SLR. Not a complex process, but I’m realizing I need better tools. Like a drill-press. I haven’t one anywhere in the world, least of all in my rather simplified Parisian life. By hand will have to suffice for the [...]

25 September 2010 Photos: Deliciousness

The menu this weekend at the café was SO, SO good. If you were in town and missed it, I feel sorry for you. Truly sorry. I was surprised at how much I liked it, even. Everything about it was a delight. And, here are the photos:

24 September 2010 Photos: Model Shoot in the Park and Jazz Concert

Between the model shoot at Butte Chaument and the jazz concert near the Musée d’Orsay by Goud, it was a pretty full day. Made lots of great new images. Here are some of my quick favorites:

23 September 2010 Photos: The Marais

I’m a bit under the weather, but I needed to go out and stretch my legs anyway, so here are a couple photos from this afternoon. Now, I’m spent and pretty much holing up for the remainder of the evening.

22 September 2010 Photos: Portraits in the Caves

Here are a few from the session this evening:

21 September 2010 Photos: Just a Few Things That Caught My Eye

Went out for a quick walk after spending most of the day working on things indoors. Here are a few things that I noticed while out and about:

20 September 2010 Photos: Spoken Word in Paris Night

Here are some photos from the open mic night down the road:

19 September 2010 Photos: Shoot with Maranda & Alex

I started to do some of the edits, but I realized how tired I am and gave up. So . . . most of these are un-edited. Enjoy. Edits to follow eventually.
