Rica will Hold my Hand in Paris

Marin County | California

Rica and I are about to leave for a Peter Turnley photography workshop in Paris, and she promises not to let me get lost.

It’s one of my little phobias, and I spent last night dreaming about the possibilities in various disguises and degrees of difficulty. None of the dreams were about Paris, but when I woke up this morning the message was clear. I’ve printed out twenty copies of the map showing the way from our apartment to the workshop location. One is now stuffed in every conceivable pocket of my travel wardrobe.

Peter Turnley is a great photojournalist and street photographer, and I’m hoping he’ll help me improve my efforts at saving little moments of interest as I wonder around the Bay Area and beyond. Paris is not too shabby a place to practice under the master’s eye.

These are a few of my favorites taken near the Golden Gate Bridge.
