Paris, August 1988. Most of August 1988 I spent in Paris with my family, although I rather deserted them at times to go out in long walks through the city on my own. But some of them do appear on quite a few of the roughly 1500 pictures I took.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in November 2020 I posted here Montreuil, Paris<\/a> which told a little about our stay in a flat in Montreuil on the east edge of the city, and where “Most days I went out for a walk before breakfast to buy bread and sometimes croissants, often with one of my sons, and always with a camera. Many of the bakers were closed for August and others took it in turns to be open for a week, making some of these walks a little longer, and I often diverted down streets that looked interesting<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I also mentioned there, almost the first thing we did after arriving was to get photographs of our two sons at a photobooth so we could get their ‘Carte Orange’ and then buy weekly tickets for the Metro system – as I commented at ” little more than the cost of a day travelcard in London<\/em>.” We made good use of those tickets, travelling around Paris and its outskirts as you can see from the album Around Paris 1988<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final sentence of my post in 2020 ended by saying I would feature more of the pictures in some later posts, but I don’t think I’ve ever got around to it. Nor have I put together a book from these images taken in 1988, though I there is one of the colour images I made, Photo Paris 1988<\/a>. As usual with Blurb, the price of a hardcopy is ridiculous, but there is a much more reasonable PDF version. And you can view a good selection of the images for free on the preview<\/a>. I haven’t yet put an album of these colour images on Flickr, but perhaps I will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the description of the book:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An evocative look at a Paris much of which was disappearing as the photographer walked the streets and took these pictures in 1988.<\/p>

Peter Marshall’s pictures show a city and its fringes beyond the tourist circuit, capturing some of the flavour of the real Paris, but it is also very much a Paris of the imagination.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It’s time took a good look again at the black and white images from 1988 and made a book of them – and perhaps that will happen some time. A few have been published elsewhere, including a few I printed by alternative printing processes which I was dabbling with around this time, such as salt prints, kallitype and cyanotype. But I soon came back to more normal photographic printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 366 images online in the album Around Paris 1988<\/a> and the selection here has just a few of my favourites, all uncropped. It would be difficult to make a selection but I think it could make a good book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
