Paris Black and White
Book 4 is called that because it was going to be another one of Billy's books; however, he pulled it at the last minute to prepare for FEMME. FEMME will come out in 2013. This gallery represents years of photographing Paris in Black and White using Fuji Neopan 1600 Film along with a few pictures of Rome. Billy's way of blurring an image produces an ethereal and yet close-to-the-bone feeling of place. Billy's goal for all of the pictures in this gallery was to expose a view of Paris/Rome that seemed to be 100 years old--antique! With high speed film he achieves the grain and the contrast he desired. These photographs will eventually be published in a future work. Enjoy!
