Notre Dame, no ferris wheel.
It's part of a series of five, maybe six images, that take images of monumentals and skews their scale and minimalizes them, makes them happenstance, relics in a landscape. This, and the Louvre shots will be kept company with images I already have of the Opera Garnier and the Arc de Triomphe. Tomorrow I hope to capture the Eiffel Tower and if time permits the sixth image will be Versailles. One needs a city like Paris to attempt such a project. It's good to be here.

I went into Paris again today, lugging my camera with two lenses once again, and I went to take a photograph only to find I had left the battery for the camera on the charger in the hotel. I've grown accustomed to having this camera with me everywhere lately, well, 226 days later, and I didn't know what to do. I went adventuring for a photo store that sold Polaroids as I've though I might like to own one again recently but there were none to be had readily in Paris. I even thought about buying another digital camera. Instead I left the city early and took this picture nearer my hotel. I took the same picture four or five days ago but didn't use it. I liked it then and I like it now that I've taken it a second time.

The doors on this building were made in the 1300's. It's hard to take pictures of monumental buildings in France when they are surrounded by tourists (myself included) and the distractions of modern life.

I've added a new lens to the collection, a Sigma 10-20 zoom, and I'm off to France to figure it out. It's a better lens than the fisheye as it doesn't distort the image nearly as much. I suspect it will quickly become a favourite. I don't know if I will be able to update this page while in France so this might be the last picture for a couple of weeks.

I hadn't sat in this bar in 12 years. The afternoon was spent looking out this window, reading a book, drinking beer and coffee. It was nearly perfect.
