To close the alternative process unit (boohoo!), I chose to create a Cyanotype. The image I chose to print was one I took this past March in Paris, when I tried my hand at a bit of people watching. They say that people look like their pets, but I'd argue that they look more like the cities they're from - this was my inspiration. 

Similar to my last process, I wanted to exhibit the city of Paris through it characteristics, and in this case, its people. The three older women seen in my photograph caught my eye immediately, sporting their long fur jackets arm in arm. They exuded class and style, which is something I associate largely with Paris. The way they walked and talked was so perfectly Parisian, and they acted as ideal subjects for candid photography. I chose to print my photo in Cyanotype form because of the aged look it gives the photograph, tying into the history of the city and its people.  Equally, I wanted my Cyanotype to act as a bit of a memory holder, reminding me of my time spent in France and capturing the essense of the city. In turn, I wanted it to appeal to those who haven't been to the city as well and allow them to experience the quintessence of one of the most spectacular places in the world. 

(My process pictures were the worst, so I rightfully made the choice to eliminate them. Yeah.)
