Paris in black and white

There are many famous photographers linked to Paris. What about Robert Doisneau and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Or - late forties and earliy fifties - a Dutchman, Cas Oorthuys.

There are diehards using analogue techniques today. One of them is a certain Thomas Boivin who started picturing the Paris Belleville area as from 2010. The Guardian published several of his photographs. Until 26 June 2022 an exhibition in Brussels: "Belleville".

Like the two hundred US based scientists who are intending to move to France, SHE has decided to up stumps and return home.

From the article RA posted "the Statue has welcomed millions of immigrants to the United States since it was dedicated in 1886." Right up until Trump.
