There is a lot of street art and graffiti to be found in Paris. I didn’t photograph very much of it this time around, however, I did spot a few Space Invader characters as created by the street artist Invader. It is true that you only see things when you’re looking for them, or they [...]

I’d heard it was one of the hottest tourist sites in Paris, so Val and I thought we’d check it out. And why wouldn’t you want to take a few hours out of your day in one of the greatest cities in Europe to say “hi” to some famous people. Albeit, dead famous people. And [...]

A few more photographs from Paris. Just trying not to forget it.

Paris is an undeniably historic artistic city, and so while there, I captured some of this, through some old type to modern type. I’ve become a little bit of a type-geek.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again; Paris is dirty and polluted, vulgar, unscrupulous, exploitative and offensive, but I still love it. It’s appealing in so many ways; the stunning architecture, the beautiful people, delicious food, boulangeries, the metro (it has rubber wheels!), fashion, art, bars, nightlife, history… I’ve been a few times [...]

Shops and sellers are everywhere. Of course, taking photographs of the street vendors is near impossible. On attempting to take a photograph of a stall at the Christmas Market, on the Champs Elysees I was ordered to delete said two images by two men (who I shall note were bigger than me and didn’t understand [...]

I like trains. I like underground trains. I think I would be satisfied if I visited all underground metro systems. So far I can tick off London, New York, Boston and Paris. Here are just a few of my shots from the Paris Metro.

After a few days to digest my excellent weekend in Paris, and edit my images, I can positively say that I’ll be putting more cash aside for weekends away in the future. Paris conjures up all sorts of ideas of romance, love stories, fashion and glamour and, in many parts of the city, this is [...]

At 16.40pm tomorrow afternoon I will be on an aeroplane heading to Paris. My first time outside Ireland in 2 years (but not first time on a plane in that time)! The reason for my visit is for Paris Photo, the international annual photography festival. I’m making the trip with my University class and will [...]
