Drancy seen by Djamel

Djamel, Paris 17th

I live in Paris since March 2008 in the 17th, near the Arc de Triomphe. It is a middle-class neighborhood where I do not like it really. Relations with neighbors is limited to "hello, goodbye, thank you." I lived in before Dancer for three years and I find that relationships with people were more welcoming and easier there. Relationships are often superficial in Paris. I will from time to time in Saint-Denis, Aubervilliers Gennevilliers or to meet friends. The strongest image that evokes the northern suburbs, the Stade de France and more generally the city of Saint-Denis. For me, Saint-Denis is a little laboratory of the future of the Paris region between withdrawal and desire for closer ties with its larger neighbor Paris.

Drancy is a town I did not know. Therefore, I did not really particular on trial. I I'm just told that this should be a dormitory town as all those who have pushed for years 50-60. A city without actually center, with large sets scattered here and there and a rather young and cosmopolitan population.

was my mission to go to the Cite de la Muette became the Vichy government, a concentration camp for Jews who were then deported to Auschwitz. I read in a history book that the city built in the thirties by two avant-garde architects (Marcel Lods and Eugene Baudoin), represented the benchmark of modernity urban gardens and with its skyscrapers, the first constructed in the Paris region. There are now more than three buildings. At the entrance of the city, there is a memorial to victims of Nazi extermination camps, erected in 1976. Just behind the monument, tracks lead to a wagon like those who left full of men for the camps.

The three buildings since U were repainted in pastel pink. On the ground floor of a building, there is a room containing hundreds of archival photos showing the deportation. The contrast between the past violate this city and its appearance quiet and calm now really upset me. The name of the city "La Muette" is likely to echo my feelings and that of the tram station near the city "Drancy future" ...

Three hundred meters away is a sculpture for commemorate the abolition of slavery. There is a couple Embrace former slaves. The man raises his fist with a piece of broken chain ... I found this work very optimistic and I really liked the photograph.

I also discovered the municipal cemetery at the foot a great city fifteen floors with stunning views of the graves ...

I then joined the Park Ladoucette (ex-Jacques Duclos), where I met many families who took advantage of the sunny weekend. The sun and air, air, air ...

I loved photographing painted electrical boxes. Scattered throughout the city, they give a sense of fun and originality and color punctuated my walks.

I also liked photographing the statue of De Gaulle. Viewed from one angle, it seems to do a dance step: which contrasts sharply with the historical figure, right?

I had little experience of photography, but I noticed a photo that success it was essential to look first time around, I'm Never usual. Waiting time it takes to make a good picture requires you to stay in the city and makes you become more observant. It is also an invitation to the aesthetic experience the beauty of a place under a certain light ...

Enjoy your visit you all!

Paris seen by Alexandra

Alexandra Aubervilliers

I live in Aubervilliers, in the neighborhood of e Marcreux. I am committed to Aubervilliers since I've been living my birth. Like my neighborhood, I know almost everyone, yet I think the landscape is sad. Everything seems gray. I try to go to Paris as often as possible. I know well Châtelet where I go often. I love Paris, it is a beautiful city! In my opinion the most important differences between Paris and the suburbs are the tastes in clothing and language.

Before you go taking pictures, I felt confident at first, and then a little stressed. I wanted to get to make interesting pictures, that is to say images, which mean something. J 'were in the 19th arrondissement, Stalingrad, in Crimea. dint do the same streets, I discovered the neighborhood that I know pretty well now. And what surprised me most is that Paris is more beautiful than I imagined. I met some taking pictures of people. I met a lady, Mrs Sidibé, who is president of an intercultural association.
Then u n gentleman who had a funny bike and named Jean-Pierre. In fact, he crossed the country by bicycle. He told me that when he was young he dreamed living the "great adventure". He made extensive studies and worked in a large luxury hotel. Then all of a sudden he decided to fulfill his childhood dream. So he left his job, his house because he said it was quite rich. He began his adventure, there are three or four years. He has already gone everywhere in France. He tried to go in Asia but failed. While I spoke, he looked quite a hurry: he told me he was going in the Pyrenees.
Then I wanted to photograph fishermen and I started talking with them, ask them questions. They said that after having caught the fish they release them into the water. One day they caught a big fish was a 50 m long and weighed 10kg. It was huge!

Before starting the photo, I found it very easy. After six days of photography, I think the opposite. To make the picture must be patient, be "awakening" to dare talk to people. I find that being a photographer is just being a paparazzi. But it can be fun. This changes the view of the city. In looking through a viewfinder, I saw things I 've never seen before.

I have no favorite picture. I love them all.
