Become a Lonely Hunter for a Better Hunt
I did a trip to Paris solely to take photographs for myself back in 1992. That sounds selfish, but I didn't have any children to take care of and my wife was enmeshed in a busy career as an art director for a prosperous advertising agency.
I was approached by Agfa that year to be a tester for their line of APX films and I requested a case of their 100 speed film and another of their 400 speed film. They asked me where I wanted to photograph and I said, "Paris." A month later, in late October, I was there with a camera bag full of new Canon EOS lenses and a couple of camera bodies. Oh, and a big shopping bag full of black and white film.
