LightBox Photographic Gallery opens Paris on Film, an exhibit by Marc Mcvey, on Saturday, March 14th from 4-7pm. “I explored the streets of Paris, as I’ve done many times before, but this time through the perspective of a 50mm lens on a forty plus year old Leica. Often called the ‘normal’ lens for its similarity to human vision, this focal length allowed me to act as a quiet observer, while isolating the intimate moments that define the city. I embraced a slower, more intentional process in order to catch a glimpse of the timeless character of Paris. Shooting on film allowed me to accentuate light, texture and grain, and display the full beauty of fiber gelatin prints. ~ Marc McVey
