Paris Carousel, Print of the Month
To me, Paris is the quintessential European city. None other is more romantic, elegant, or beautiful. Turn a corner and the most fabulous lingerie boutique or bakery awaits. The Parisians even manage to make suckling pigs hanging from hooks in the butcher shop window look like fine art.
This carousel was a complete surprise. I came up to street level from the subway and there it was, like something out of the early 1900’s.
I wanted to maintain the illusion of a past time in this photograph and exclude any signs of the modern age. It took a lot of patience and two visits but I did finally manage to click the shutter at precisely the right moment.
This image is our July Print of the Month. For those of you not familiar with our monthly print sale, let me explain. Each month Larry and I take turns offering one of our favorite photographs for sale at a vastly reduced price. These are limited edition museum quality images printed by master printer Robert Cavalli on fiber paper under an enlarger. We have sold photographs like these in galleries for $500 but are making them available to our clients on our site for just $50.
