*gg* When I speak french, the french either laugh or look at me with
overbearing smiles. Which, btw., is quite nice considering the
alternatives....
Anyways, it came through as Dutch to me ;)

Hmm, I live in a *small* but *expensive* apartment in the 12th. My kitchen
does, with very little inconvenience, double as my darkroom. My shower
cabin works wonders for hanging drying films...

I'll give you the addresses when I come home to look it up. One is central,
close to Chatelet (walking-distance), the other is near Bastille.

Nope, not yet ;(

We went through a few exhibits, ohh, 2-3 weeks ago, and I think this was
among them. One of the advantages of Paris is the seemingly endless supply
of cultural experiences..

Easy: I do not make money with my pictures any more, so if anyone asks: I
am just a danish touris taking vacation-snapshots. Also, me being an
associal arrogant bastard, I tend not to like taking pictures with people
much. Which helps on the problem (but doesn't elliminate it altogether,
since it extends to "things which can be identified as belonging to
someone"). Reponse Photo (an excellent French photo magazine) seems to have
a lawyer on retainer for dealing with these issues, as well as answering
questions from readers regarding this legislative curiousity.
And really, I travel a lot and take most of my pictures outside of France
anyways...(see other thread for bickering about travelling with cameras).
