I had recently discovered photography and when I arrived there, my life pivoted entirely. In a few short months, I had decided to become a photographer, found a night job as a commercial photographer and bought a few hundred rolls of film. I started working by night and walking by day and, for the next ten years, my life’s rhythm was set. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRecently, looking through my archive, I found many images that I had until now left aside, often unconsidered. One by one, I rediscovered them. Still lifes, street life, friends and strangers alike are gathered here in what is a personal evocation of these years. Yet I hope that they convey a feeling that is not only mine, but distinctly Parisian, and might echo the memories of whoever lived the first years of his adult life in the North East of Paris.\" - Thomas Boivin \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBoivin's exquisite analogue black-and-white photographs, printed in a rich open tritone are presented in an elegant design inspired by the countless classic French novels, to be found for sale on the banks of the Seine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanley Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555640283193,"sku":"210000002836","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/0872\/9145\/files\/annotation-2024-03-18-135716.jpg?v=1790279592","url":"https:\/\/shop.icp.org\/products\/thomas-boivin-menilmontant","provider":"International Center of Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
