Paris Cafes
Over the last twenty years I have spent a lot of time in Paris. Initially I visited to explore the birth place of street photography but more recently spending time documenting the bars and cafes as the inevitable Americanisation of the city fights against a place obsessed with tradition and holding on to its old fashioned identity. Using the dying processes of darkroom photography as a mirror to the slow decay of the traditional French culture I was hoping to capture the destruction of the past and inevitability of its death.
