À Paris

Ah, I love Paris, specially when I have a good reason to visit it so often. This time I took my reflex camera with me, to try to improve my skills on photography, since it's not long since I got 'catched' by it. I find it curious to think I used to reject Photography in benefit of Art and Design. I used to have a wrong concept of it and I even thought that if I had to make proffesional photos, I should always have to control the object I am shooting. I remember having this conversation with 2 danish girls who where studying architecture in Vienna with me, and I explained that I would always modify and interphere with the object, to be a mediator between the photo and the observer. That is just a deformation of having being educated on an artistic background.

But, alas, at that time I had never made a photograph. Not a real one (digital compact cameras and mobile phones doesn't sound to me like real photography). Not a mechanical device. I had not heard the "click", the sound of the camera. How I arrived to hear it, that's another story which I might tell some other day, when I feel like it.

Wish I could have a long nice talk again with those two nice girls from Denmark which were so interested in Photography, with a coffee and maybe one of those delicious cakes they make. A photo is not a canvas. I think I'm happy to have learned that. It's not much but it's a start.

Here are some photos I took in Paris this weekend. The objects I photographied are not very interesting, for there are tons of photos of flowers and flohmarkets around the blogs of the world. However I felt I wanted to have my own photos of them, and move over to new things.
