I took that photo when walking past a house being taken down. It wasn’t old. It wasn’t in bad condition. But someone had bought it to get rid of it and build a mini-castle. That’s what rich oil CEOs do in Aberdeen.
Demolition
Sea snail
This unassuming little guy was making its way across a large wooden plank on the beach.
Ferris wheel
I originally took that photo with the colour in mind. But I like the tones of the monochrome.
Storm
I don’t normally go out when a storm hits, but on that day the storm is receding and I thought I’d check out the shore.
Scaring pigeons
It doesn’t take much to scare pigeons. Even if it gets in the way of their lunch.
Inside Notre Dame
I took this photo a long time ago. I was attracted by the light on the ceiling and the giant window.
Recursive photo
The recursive aspect of the scene attracted me: taking the photo of a couple looking at a photo showing someone taking the photo of a group of people in front of another group having their photo taken.
Flat bottom boat on the Seine
I like the perspective of the wide angle lens. It stretches the boat that os already quite long. Traditionally, these boats transport coal, gravel, and stones up and down the river.
Shoes and cigarettes
I find sometimes weird what people abandon in the street. How can you abandon your shoes? Do you go home bare feet?
Looking at books
The Notre Dame in the background is pre-fire. The book sellers (“bouquinistes”) traditionally sell old second hand books and art.
