Night

I went to see Bruce Davidson's exhibit at the HCB museum last week, which was simply stunning. His photo's were quite powerful, and the prints themselves..fantastic. I would say the quality of the prints are at least 3 times better than a reproduction in a book, and incomparable to anything on a computer screen.


These are all from a roll of color ASA1600 film which is really meant for low levels of light (street at night wooo) however the grain blows (larger chunks of silver to grab the light). I've been using it for the last couple of weeks, so there are a lot of different locations:

I wish the focus were a little closer on this one, it says "Chinese massage"....yup.




This one seems ironic, I'm not sure why ...








In recent years, the Champs Elysees has become a victim of its own fame. The rent is so high, that most of the smaller stores, restaurants, and movie theaters can no longer afford to stay here; in there place are the large clothing retailers, fast food restaurants, and shopping centers...destroying the original atmosphere. However it's still interesting just to walk around at night and there are still a couple of cafes around.




Talk to the hand.
