>Le Village Saint Paul

This was taken in the old cartier of Paris, Le Marais, the 4th arrondisement, where I used to live. Part of it is called Le Village Saint Paul, close to the Saint Paul et Saint Louis church, the Hotel de Sens, and the Bastille. I would go out in the evening and walk to the Louvre, see its illuminated inner square with its fountain, or even to the Place de la Concorde and come back by midnight. The first picture, the original, is composed of three scanned photos of two different streets, put together, with a few modifications, to make it less easy to see. The others, part of a larger serie, are the same picture with digital effects. When you enter this area, the streets call you, enchant you, pull you in a dream to follow their meandering paths and get surrounded by their talelike constructions! I love places that make you dream, where you feel like you are in another place, out of this world, or in both at the same time. 07/00 Paris B & W serie. M R, D E
