Photography

Moments, kept.

Golden hour in Paris and on the Riviera, New York street corners, the pastel avenues of San Francisco and quiet light at home, shot on my Fujifilm.

Paris

Montmartre, golden hour to blue hour

Golden hour

Sunset pouring down Rue des Saules beside the pink La Maison Rose La Maison Rose's lamps glowing at dusk, the street falling away into the sun Sacré-Cœur's domes blushing pink against a clear evening sky The orange Au Lapin Agile cabaret with green shutters on a cobbled Montmartre corner Wisteria spilling over a navy arched door, No. 9 Haussmann corner building on Rue Darwin, a Space Invader mosaic above the café

Blue hour

A couple on a mint scooter rounding the glowing corner of La Bonne Franquette at dusk La Bonne Franquette's gilded signs lit up over cobblestones, a scooter waiting at the corner Le Consulat in blue hour: red-and-green awnings, cane chairs and chalkboard menus Le Poulbot's hand-lettered sign glowing above painted shutters

Café afternoons

Sipping espresso with blue nails, the Montmartre steps behind A laugh over coffee under a yellow awning A warm smile beneath the yellow Bistrot awning Sketching in a notebook outside da Kika Pen paused, glancing up from a sketch at da Kika Red and orange natural wine across a wooden table, a smile behind the glasses

At the museum
