Have You Noticed the Shoes People Wear in Paris?

The Paris Vignettes series features the inspired work of street photographer William “Bill” O’Such in themed installments. 

Given the ongoing positive comments, it’s time for another vignette about shoes in Paris. These photos were made during various autumn wanderings and a few metro rides. When I returned to San Francisco, I finally scouted some shoes at an art event that started to echo the stylish, everyday chaussures in Paris. Feel free to let me know in the comments section below if there should be another vignette on this curious subject, or if there are other themes I should consider. (Other “Shoes of Paris” pictures can be found here, here, and here.)

By William OSuch

William was introduced to silver halide photography by his father, Chester J. O’Such, via the family’s Ansco reflex camera and home darkroom. After college, William worked as a photographic engineer at Eastman Kodak, where he began to learn the art of photography. With his first SLR, a Canon AE-1, he photographed his inaugural voyage to Paris in 1982. This early spark turned into full passion when William became a Kodak expatriate in Paris from 1995-99. Before returning to the USA, William and his future wife Ineke bought an apartment in the Marais district. Inspired by Bresson, William continues to visit Paris at least twice a year to wander the streets, camera in hand, looking for the next vignette.
