Paris 1980
Gerry Johansson
“In 1980, photographer Ralph Nyqvist and I traveled to Paris. We both worked for the magazine Aktuell Fotografi. I did the layout and Ralph was a freelance writer doing photographer presentations, articles and reviews. He also had a monthly column with opinions that could irritate a lot of photographers.
At that time, I made a lot of landscapes with a Widelux panoramic camera with a rotating lens. It is a true panoramic camera that gives images without a central perspective and it works perfectly well for landscapes and nature images but can usually not be used for architecture photography and cityscapes.
I brought it with me to Paris because I had an idea, that it should be possible to make interesting street photographs with lots of people interacting, and that the bustling city life would hide the strange perspective.” Gerry Johansson
