The 20th

A few weeks ago I tried to photograph the 20th. It was a bit of a cold day out so I knew that it wasn't going to be the funnest experience. I started of in the Chinese district and moved up to a park that had a really nice view of the Eiffel Tower.  From there I wondered around a bit and ended up at Pere Lachaise Cemetery. I got some nice photos before it started to snow and headed home. On my way back I noticed that I 'took' about 40 photos on a role that should have only had 36, I can usually get a few extra but not 40. I checked my role only to find out that it got jammed when I loaded it and none of the photos came out.
A week later I decided to redo my shoot and headed back out.  As this was my second time in the 20th I had some ideas of where I wanted to go. I took mostly the same path as I had the week before but made sure to save some film to take photos at the Pere Lachaise.
One more done only....16 to go...

The 12th

Today I added the 12th to my list. I had lunch with a friend down by the train station of Lyon in the 12th. Since I was already there I decided to take my photos in the 12th. My friend was late so I started taking some photos at the train station. After lunch I started my walk. There was a nice above ground park the lead away from the train station. I fallowed that park until it ended and found another park that I have never seen before. It turns out that the 12th was alot bigger than I expected and walked for about an hour before I had to turn around and start exploring. I found some nice places to take some photos (I will be exploring them later with a model or two). I then went to get a coffee at a cafe and to take photos of people that walk by. I ended up bumping into some old coworkers. There was nothing really to take any photos of so I moved on. I later found myself over by Bercy park to finish my role. I will be developing my role tomorrow.
