Meredith Mullins: Exploring Paris

Sometimes, as a local, you need a little nudge to get you out flaneuring after a lazy summer away from the city. For me, that kick in the pants is my Photo Exploring Class. We wander to far-flung corners of Paris or to closer hidden treasures. We discover new places or see familiar quartiers in a different way. And the real joy of it is to inspire and be inspired by my students.

I tell them a photographer should feel lucky to get one great image each time we go out. This intrepid class gets many more. Beating the odds every time.

 

From Canal Saint-Martin to Montmartre to Parc de la Villette, this fall we sought the energy of the streets and the calm beauty of reflected light and color. And, in the process, I got to make new photographs of my own as we all explored our rich and layered city. How good a life is that?
