I spent two weeks in Paris making pictures. It was the first time I had brought an 8x10 view camera overseas and was indeed a transformative experience.
I live in Boston where I run a high school level photography program. We are a majority analog program so the darkroom is alive and well here. Our school is an all boys independent school and the program is well supported and thriving.
I’ve shot 8x10 for the last 8 years or so. In 2017 I completed an MFA in Photography from MassART where I studied under my mentor, Nick Nixon.
This work was generously supported by an alum of our school for which I am grateful and indebted to their belief in how this project can help our students.
I spent time rephotographing the work of Atget but also making new pictures inspired within a mindset of how Atget may have viewed Paris in our present day.
I’ll offer a mix of pictures and thoughts on the experience in a number of posts to come.
