Who were the organisers (aside from Leica)? Was it worth it? regards, Jem, - -----Original Message----- From: Mark_E_Davison [SMTP:Mark_E_Davison@email.msn.com] Sent: 03 January 2001 23:51 To: Leica User Group Subject: [Leica] Photos from a Paris workshop This September my wife and I took a photography workshop in Paris. The event was sponsored by Leica, and led by Ralph Gibson. The workshop was interesting, and very intense. We alternated classroom work, field work and visits to various exhibits playing in Paris at the time (Atget and Irving Penn were the highlights for me.) Some of my better shots can be found at http://communities.msn.com/MarkEDavison, in the Paris 2000 folder. No blood, and plenty of shots of buildings. I was trying to figure out what people mean by Paris as the city of light, and what they mean when they say Paris is feminine. In addition we had class assignments (academic nude studies, Rodin sculpture garden, Pere La Chaise (sp?) cemetery), and Gibson asked me to think about what atonality would mean in photography, so I went in search of visual dissonance, and found plenty. Enjoy. Mark Davison
