Paris

i LOVE this shot.... exactly what i like to try and capture
Thanks, Lt! I like it a lot too because of the perfect mood. It was really just a snapshot but it's shot on film. Makes it different, gives it a grittiness that I miss in digital.
 
Your sig is funny, Lt. No Nikon for you eh? :D
i grew up around the corner from the chief photographer for the local Gannett News owned newspaper (Gannett is the publisher for the USAToday). the USToday wasnt a thing yet. i played with a couple of his daughters who were the same age as the rest of us in the neighborhood. i always liked how he had better access to life and things so i decided i wanted to be a photographer too.

before my senior year in high school (summer of 82) my parents said they would buy me a good slr and i spoke with my neighbor and he suggested the AE-1 over anything Nikon had. he had to use Nikon because the paper provided it but he really liked Canon glass saying it was as good as anything Nikon had without the price tag so.....

Not a path I would like to walk by myself!
I have walked in it, alone at night, no lights, just my head light, and stopped to rest on the wall. Then I found out i was resting on skulls and bones. Totally terrifying! But the next step was more terrifying as we had a baptism ceremony for students of the university. They would lift you upside down and put your head in a dirty water fountain while the ceremony committee would watch you drown..

I bet it was! I'm not easily spooked but yeah, that would do it. :panic:

Yikes. Sounds like hazing!

Yes, definitely sounds like hazing. Glad you survived it! :LOL:

We need a nail-biting smiley in that, what's it called, quick row! :yikes:
 
When all was over, at around 3.00 am I left from the visitors exit, in Denfert Rosserau square, a big transit hub. No metro or bus in the night, and no taxi was stopping, as I was wet, covered in mud. I had to cross half of Paris on foot to go home...
LOL Cabbies are funny that way. :LOL:

That must have been a long walk - luckily it was night so nobody saw you! :lolz:
