Ten years ago today - could it be? - I posted my very first photo on FocusOnParis.com, a photo blog created and launched with pro photographer, former colleague and dear friend Wilf James. The blog’s kickoff photo had been the day before, January 28, an inspiring black and white photograph that Wilf had taken of tourists leaning over to gawk at the Eiffel Tower.
Then it was up to me and my iphone, and now, with over 3,000 posted photos and visitors from all over the world dropping in every day, what started as a fun photography experiment turned into a part-time art project that has led to many unexpected connections and an even deeper appreciation of the city. And yet as many photos as I've posted - whether of food, cafés, fashion, art, travel, street scenes, architecture, more - in short, subjects I'd also explored as a lifestyle editor/writer over the years - I know I've only scratched the surface. Paris is a city full of surprises where I can always count on something new. Everything I photograph is with an eye for what strikes me, in corners and places I find myself (or that I seek out) that make Paris well, Paris. This seems to have kept the interest of the blog’s many visitors as well, and I hope will continue to do so. - BPJ
