Between bridges

[Shab]

In the last months, I'm having a "feeling" about a theme for a possible photo project.

It began when I was in Paris some days and I decided to go each day to the same "zone": between some bridges. I was there 4 days and when I had a time for me I took a camera (TLR) and went to be there and make pictures.

It was my first experience, alone, with a camera in a city that I don't know too much. And I loved the experience.

Then, some weeks ago I went to Bordeaux, to play the basson with another bassonist (saturday and sunday) and just in case I took my X100 with me. It was another great experience. It was me, alone, with a camera (and the basson) in a city that I don't know too much. And I was in a zone, between bridges...

And I thought that I have some pictures that I have made in Baiona, between some bridges also...

And if I put the pictures in a "body", these pictures can talk about... ok, if you want, you will see it by yourself.

Paris, a big and very touristic city...

Bordeaux, the capital of the "Nouvelle Aquitane"... a very touristic city in the last years...

Baiona, the capital of the North part of the Basque Country... an small city.

Maybe it doesn't have "sense", but I will try to put theme together and will see if these pictures tell anything.

More images, Xabier….

I’m not clear on the concept of “between” bridges, but assume that will become evident. Nonetheless looking forward to the pictures.

@Shab - I too would like to see more images that you are considering as part of this project. I hope that you will take the time to share them as I so often find your photography to be truly inspiring. In addition it would be very interesting to see how you go about developing an idea like the one you have described in the first post of this thread.

Thanks @rhl-oregon @JohnWolf and @Guth !

Normally, I don't share a project when I have begun to think on its creation... but in this case, I decided to do it because something in my inner land "told" me to share with you.

I hope I will share with you my thoughts, and my pictures... these days I will share the pictures I made and some of them I have shared in RFF in different threads... but later I hope I will work in this project and I will share with you the evolution.

Today has been a long and hard day... hope you all are fine.

Baiona -- Bayonne, yes?

Baiona -- Bayonne, yes?

Yes, Baiona is its Basque name. French people transformed it to "Bayonne".

 

[KoNickon]

Yes, Baiona is its Basque name. French people transformed it to "Bayonne".

And it's also the name of a (much less attractive) town in New Jersey, USA.

Interesting project Xabier, it's always inspiring to observe how a photographer or other creatves develops an idea. Thanks for sharing it with us.

This project is in the very beginning. These pictures are the first ones that have created the base of the project... I think it will be my "next" big project (it's an intuition), but we will see where it takes me.
