Long ago I'd been in communication with Marc of infrared.fr over the style of his site which bore a striking resemblance to sleepycity. Heated words were exchanged but many months later all was forgiven and we finally met in a scottish pub near Chatelet. As usual drinks gave way to more exciting pursuits so Marc, Olivier, Cat, Dopefish, his gf and I headed southwards to a little something they'd been keeping under their hat. Something a bit concretey, 7 meters in diameter and entirely stormdrainy. If you've seen Drainor #2 you know Paris has no shortage of storm and sewers but this, this is special.

If you liked this try...


After dark the city is ours.
From secret tunnels to rancid sewers, subways, bridges and space relics, if it's adventure you want you'll find it here. The city is our playground, the city as you've never seen it before.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. In art its called 'inspiration'. Im glad yall worked it out and yes looks very much like your site. But you were the first and everyone knows it. I have been planning some night raids myself. In fact if your a photog and in South Texas email me. Jstonefotog@yahoo.co m

Jesus I'm a bit rude aren't it. Replies on a silver platter are in order:

baar, and it never will either. Mecca.

cat, 1ds (ghetto mark 1) for all except the first which is a bronica sq-ai.

S///, what you can't see is the similarly sized chamber adjacent to the one pictured. From baguettes to bottles de vin to fat ass concrete tardin basins these things are best done in multiples. The second wasn't lit and we were lazy so it's not pictured.

dopefish, fuck sorry, added!

J Stone, if time permits I'll drop you a line if I'm in your general area.
