Paris - November 2001

"If you're tired of Paris, you're tired of life." I don't know who said it, but I couldn't agree more.

I could never tire of Paris, but I've definitely grown tired of my own early style of simplistic tourist photography. This time in Paris, I tried to find new ways and new angles from which to see this great city ... underground, rooftops and nighttime.

My first forays into night photography have been particularly difficult and rewarding. Cold nights of tripods and long exposures require much patience and yield dozens of failures and a few treasured gems. Many of these photos are experiments, I hope you enjoy them.
