A Story In Paris – Behind The Screenplay

I’m sure you’ve heard the assertions that once upon a time Native Americans and other peoples believed that photos were thieves of individual’s souls. That by dint of what they did and their reproduction something was being stolen from the spiritual world. “A Story In Paris” shows that their beliefs weren’t wrong, but ahead of their technological time.

Story Inspiration

I take photos walking around any city that I’m fortunate enough to visit. It’s a great pleasure for me, but like many things I do in life, I do things quickly in an effort to soak in all I can. When I take these photos, I don’t spend much time framing, searching for the correct lighting, making sure only the subject is in focus, like the old filmmaker trope always touts, I decide if need be, “I’ll fix it in post.” (Post-production – ie, afterwards).

The pattern I found when reviewing the quickly snapped photos afterwards were the people that inadvertently entered the frame and photobombed my unclear efforts to snap parts of my experience.

This happened a lot in the tourist mecca that is the enchanting city of gay Paris (or gay Paree if you want to strangely spell the term). People go about their business in the phenomenal city with little regard for tourists or photos being taken anywhere. “A Story In Paris,” Thomas Girard and his endeavours, were born shortly after.
