Des Reflets sur une Rue de Paris (Reflections on a Street in Paris)
Spring 2022, we took a trip up the Rhone river to Paris with my husband’s family. We spent several days and nights in the south of France, an area I’d not explored before. I found many new sensory favorites though Paris, as a creative metropolis, will always be my first choice for a gaze into what draws and keeps us in a place. The captured moments below are of elders, youth, the eccentric, the tired, the beauties of symmetry and non-symmetry…shoppers, workers, tourists on a busy street corner in Paris (plus one random location, bonus points if you can spot it.). This is a time, such as it is, that we are living together, vestiges of the same air, light and earth slowly returning to somewhere. I captured the moments using a high shutter speed and aperture to convey a single frame of motion or rest in time and space.
With each frame, where does your gaze land, where the photographer intended or somewhere else?
Whose story do you feel you could tell?
