100 things: 100 photos - photo 34

Oct 27, 2014 19:59

This photo was taken in Paris all the way back in 2005. It was a pleasant night and I was meeting with a friend I hadn't seen in a while just above the Halles. I remember seeing this carousel as I was waiting and then seeing the two women standing there talking and thinking to myself that this all felt like a scene from a film. A french film from the 90s. And then I quickly took a snapshot, barely framing my photo, to capture the moment and the feeling. I still believe it feels like the frame from a film. One of those films where the heroes wander aimlessly around the city at night, talking too much or not talking at all. One of those films where nothing much happens, but they feel just like life.
