Hello. My name is Paul. I was a news photographer from 15 July 1975 onwards, working in various places until 1997, when I abandoned the trade and stopped taking photographs. In 2011 I picked up a camera again, after a break of 14 years. It was a sweet and sour experience, with many ghosts. I mainly use an X100s, and I shoot in JPEG B/W. By choice, and not because I think it's right or wrong, I do not crop, straighten or use Photoshop. I do use Silver Efex Pro 2 to adjust contrast, where necessary. I have been given a permanent mono-author exhibition of my street photography in the centre of Milan, Italy, just a few paces from the Duomo, which has now seen in excess of 700,000 people pass through it in its first year. EXPO 2015 has probably helped a little. It's worth a visit. I have managed to produce around 200 usable street images annually since I returned to photography in 2011, and my work has been exhibited many times in Italy in recent years. I'm not sure how long I will continue taking photographs, as I really only returned out of curiosity, to understand what "digital" was like. Curiosity can be dangerous On 15 July this year, 2015, I will celebrate 40 years since I entered the trade. It seems such a long time ago, and technology has changed so much. I wish I'd had the low-light capabilities of modern digital back in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
