Weekly Get-to-Know-Paris Challenge #24!

August 03, 2012

This week’s challenge is to take your camera out! Spend a day walking around, observing, and snapping photos. Try to take at least 100, either all around the city or pick one spot to observe throughout the day. (If you think that’s boring, first go see the free Ahae exhibit at the Tuileries, now extended until August 19th. Ahae shot 2 million photos in 3 years, all out of the same window!) Go to a new part of the city or view a familiar spot through a new lens – literally or figuratively, take your pick!


How many billions of photos have been taken of Notre Dame?
How many hundreds have I alone taken?
Yet no two are ever the same.

***

Which is your favorite spot to photograph in Paris? Do you prefer taking photos of people or places, cityscapes or nature?
