september 2008, daily light, cloudy weather, 1/125s , 4-5 condignation buildings aroundEquipment
Hasselblad 500 C/M + Zeiss 80 CF T* , kodak portra 160 NCInspiration
I have sold my digital equipment , took money , bought 50 rolls of films for Hasselblad and travel to Paris to see Agata - girl that I loved at a time / just after few hours I realize it was not best idea , she decide to start new life with owner of vineyard. I was partially dying inside however I decide to spend last moments of my miserable life with smile on face :) and I was first time in Paris - so decide to stay there as long as I'll be able to afford food and place to stay for night and even single roll of film, I had plan to search for new inspirations and spend that time best I ever can. I had few advices from my friends (thank you Magda "chat noir" and Justa - my dear friends) and I was looking for rue du Chat qui peche ( the street of fishing cat), the narrowest street in Paris (less than 2m wide) - and I was just walking, talking with people from time to time. spending good time drinking coffe and making street photos that I love to make - it is not even difficultty that I speak french not so great, maybe It wasn't every time easy, but when I tried - people was kind and nice and such warm farewells and welcomes is just normal in Paris, much different than in any other capital city that I have been to. I wished to portrait the beauty of moments , the interactions of good things that is happening to people - to reward the world anything bad that happend in my heart. to forget and to forgive, and keep only those few houndreds nice, beautiful moments, and that is what I did in Paris, spending there one of best time in my life, trying to capture also best time of others.Editing
it is scanned negative frame, white balanced, little sharpening, that is all.In my camera bag
on travels and for street photography I'm taking only backpack, Hasselblad 500 C/M with lens, and several 120 film rolls. however I had also few little screwdrivers, in case of repair would be needed, I'm taking it when I'm going far from home. and Paris is far enough to take it.Feedback
Keep your eyes open, be more sensitive for everything around you - and try to find opportunities whereever world is tempting you by exposing weakness, find the contrast in a scene - but also in feelings, each frame has to have emotions and background.
