A few years ago I was in Paris on a research/recce trip prior to filming in the city. As I was making ‘phone calls in the back seat of our rented Renault Espace, I noticed a gathering of summer storm clouds in the distance to the south of the city. The light was changing constantly like an animated William Blake painting. I ended the call, grabbed the only camera to hand (Canon Ixus), asked Gina to drive as slowly as she dare (not easy in Paris) and with the camera set on auto, hit the button as many times as I could until my hand and the camera were drenched.
Here is one frame – Tour Eiffel in a summer storm.
