"Paris: the City of Light"

This article made heavy use of my shots including two vertical double-page spreads as leaders.

The first version of this shot had a man in it but I didn't like his pose so when he left I asked my wife to take his place. Unfortunately she was too far away to easily communicate with (this was taken with a 300mm lens). She got bored waiting for me to finish and could not tell me directly, hence the body language.

An 18mm shot from under the Eiffel Tower. If you look carefully you will see our VW Kombi in the car park. We used to regularly sleep here (as did many others, often just sprawled on the lawn) and had no trouble from the police as long as we were up and about before the tourists arrived.

This guy was doing the Parisian artist bit near the Notre Dame. The painting was not very good.
