One of the places on the edge of Paris that I visited in 1984 was the Parc de St Cloud<\/em>. Since then I’ve had a print of the picture above on my wall and I still like it. The print is just a little darker and more luminous than the web image, which is from a scan made using the Epson V750 Pro<\/em> flatbed scanner.<\/p>\n The scans aren’t quite as good as those I can get from my dedicated neg scanner (a Minolta Dimage Scan Multi Pro<\/em>) which, with an added Scanhancer <\/em>diffuser, a specially made negative holder and multi-scanning with Vuescan software<\/a> rivals the best a drum scanner can produce, but they are not too far short. The V750 has a big advantage for things like making a web site as the scans are about ten times as fast.<\/p>\n Of course many other photographers have taken pictures of St Cloud, and I went there in particular because Eugene Atget<\/em> had worked there. You can see several of his pictures from there in a set of 58 on-line from the large collection at MoMA<\/a>.<\/p>\n Unlike a number of other photographers, I didn’t try to “re-photograph” the works of Atget, but I was interested in seeing the places where he had worked and making my own pictures there, and I spent a couple of weeks exploring “his” Paris and produced a set of work that I called ‘Paris Revisited<\/em>‘ and subtitled ‘A Homage to Atget<\/em>‘, and showed a set of around 40 pictures in 1985.<\/p>\n You can see more of my pictures from St Cloud on my Paris Photos<\/a> site, where I’ve recently added a large selection of the pictures from ‘Paris Revisted<\/em>‘ and I’ll write about some of the other sections in later posts. The images on the web site are almost all un-retouched scans, though I have made some minor adjustments to contrast on some.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the places on the edge of Paris that I visited in 1984 was the Parc de St Cloud.
