Meeting good friends, visiting Paris Photo, touring “alternative Paris”. And trying to decide whether I can live with a phone as my only camera.

Yesterday there was a legitimate and important manifestation (protest march) from Republic to Bastille (where we live) about a […]

History matters. Images make History. Photogaphers make images. I’m making this new lockdown the subject of a new series, and you’re welcome to join in.
