This time you find us leaving Marche Dauphine and yet more chairs I struggled to part with and moving down Rue des Rosiers to Rue Paul Bert. Here you will find the lovely La Petite Maison & incredible Colonial Concept which is full of fascinating pieces such as stuffed zebras and amazing african masks. This is as far as I made it and nowhere near the 6 hectares available but I will be back, with a shipping container!

This one was taken nearly 13 years ago, on my first trip to Paris, with the first 'real' camera I bought myself. It was probably the day I finally decided to drop everything and try to become a photographer professionally. 13 years later and I am here again.

Second time around and this time we are at the amazing Marche Dauphine and I am thinking I need to go into shipping in order to get everything home I want to bring with me. I don't know why I torture myself. Photographs will have to suffice. Speaking with the fascinating Isabelle Maleval of 'Presents Passes' about what to do with the lifetimes work of her late father, a wartime and post war photographer, was also a highlight, as well as her beautiful collection of course. Just to think 60 years worth of negatives, plates and prints that have never seen the light of day, I hope they are in a cool dry place.
