The posts above are more or less in chronological order, and I’ve already written something about most of these, although there is a little more about some on My London Diary, but in most cases there are significantly more pictures. The posts on My London Diary should have links to the corresponding posts here, and I’ll add the list of links to all my previous Paris Photo posts here. As well as my own pictures of Paris, these include some more installation views of the many shows I visited. I had intended to keep a count, but in the end there were just too many (if you include those that I looked at through the windows and decided not to go in, probably rather more than a hundred), and I’ve really only written about those that interested me more.
There really was so much to see and do, and six days really was not enough, especially as many things are closed on some days of the week (and almost everything closes on Mondays.) There were quite a few things I was sorry to miss, but it is a ‘month of photography’ and there is really a limit to how much of a month you can fit into under a week, though I tried hard!
What a shame London doesn’t have a similar festival (though the East London photomonth tries hard, it isn’t London-wide and lacks the breadth.) The month in Paris only happens in even-numbered years, and it would be good to have something here in the alternate ones, the odds. But I fear the odds are very much stacked against it happening.
