Paris Marseille Paris Perpignan Paris

A bit of movement in the past few weeks. I went to Marseille to visit friends and wandered the city and the old port and went climbing in the Calanques (white cliffs with rock beaches) and swam in the sea and then came back to Paris for just 48 hours before another early morning train to Perpignan for Visa pour l'Image, the photojournalism festival. It was my first time at Visa and it was dizzying. Met many new people and ran into people I hadn't seen in years. Many inspiring panel discussions and projections of photographs. Then another early morning train on one hour of sleep back to Paris to assist Peter Turnley with a street photography workshop for one week. Now back to my portrait series and scribbling in notebooks and watching autumn creep through the city.
