Some pictures taken in Paris last year because as a rule of thumb, after two years of having been to a place, I’m either moving again or lose the photos and can only find them again by trashing the whole house and DVDs to which I burnt collections of documents and old stuff from work and other things.
I don’t really like Paris. Most people find it strange – how can you not like the city of lovers, lights, white wine, champagne, mussels, expensive food and shopping? Because that’s all there is to it. Take those away and, to quote a CAKE song, its virtues will go unknown and its cancer will eat it to the bone. Paris is only beautiful on the outside!
Some of the pictures are nice in colour:
Printemps Department Store
An underground McDonald’s
Huitième Arrondissement
While others are best viewed in black and white

I have never been to Paris although one day, I hope to actually make it there. The photos are beautiful but I must say that the black and white ones appear more powerful and enigmatic. They seem to make the details in the picture pop out. They become more defined somehow. That and the different angles work perfectly.
