untitled n°1


untitled n°1, originally uploaded by julienpaul.

So, I finally gave in and bought three photos from one of my favourite shops in the marais that specialises in found photos, including a lot of polaroids. This photo is apparently from the 50s or 60s, most probably at one of the gates of Paris. The shop owner insisted that it was particularly rare due the quality of its colour. Apparently colour snap shots from this era often turn red.

Both of their expressions seem so familiar, 60 years on. It almost feels like a snapshot into our own memories...
