Paris: Pont Alexandre III in HD ChromaLuxe® on Aluminum Print - Limited Edition of 10

Paris – Pont Alexandre III: Limited Edition of 10 in HDChromaLux® on Aluminum This image is from my first trip to Paris in 1969. It was originally a Kodachrome®slide. (You are probably not old enough to remember that era. Kodachrome was a new process where the three primary colors were developed separately. The result was a pleasing, crisp image tending toward the blue side.) As I took the picture, I remember palpably feeling the souls of all the artists who had preceded me in Paris, guiding and encouraging me to be the best artist I could be. Years later I had it scanned to a print, and even then it languished in a moving box. I didn’t intend for the image to look like this, but something magical happened as I was working it up in Photoshop®. The final result was a pinkish monochrome image which seemed to fit the setting of “La vie en rose”. It also looks old – very old – as if it could have been a Daguerreotype. I decided to keep all the imperfections rather than to make it look new. Many of my best images are such happy accidents. This is a Special Limited Edition of 10 in true vivid colors printed in HD Chromalux® on aluminum ready-to-hang. Printing doesn't get any better than this. I hope that you too can sense the weight of history when you view this image. May it bring back happy memories for you.
