Photo Essay

I am always thrilled to do street photography in Paris and have visited several times over the past decade or so. It started in 2014, when we visited Paris for the first time and were fortunate enough to catch an exhibition by Henri Cartier-Bresson. This was a huge inspiration.

In this latest post, I was using my Leica SL2-SVoigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.2, and Voigtänder Nokton 28mm f/1.5 lenses (link goes to my reviews).

In the links below from 2014 and 2016, I used a Fujifilm X-Pro1 and X-Pro2.
