What this BLOG is all about ...

Paris is one of the most photographed and photogenic cities on the planet. With a little pocket camera I arrived to record my first ever visit. Converting my prints to digital, and despite scanning at the highest resolution available, the imperfections of these shots became more obvious. I decided to use post processing software to sharpen them, with even sadder results ... and then I applied a watercolour filter. The almost impressionist results were magic. Judge for yourself.

Paris – Outside Notre Dame - 4me


Plate XXXV Skateboarding outside Notre Dame



I have said it before, Paris is a living city.
On a Sunday morning I had quietly stood at the back of the nave of the church while a morning mass was in progress. 
A boy soprano had filled the church with the sound of his voice, and I stood in awe.
Outside, children of the same generation had mounted an impromptu exhibition of skateboarding. 

Each, in his own way, was using a God given talent.
