Paris is the most photographed city in the world
and by my account, that will continue to be the case.
From its monuments and its park to its
architecture and its river, the Seine, Paris as a city
exudes grandeur, elegance, and beauty. While its heart lies
in the past, its eyes look to the future as Paris has evolved to become
one of our world's modern, global capitals. Yet, walking along some of its
streets or visiting some of its museums transports you back to its past.
It is this rapport of Paris' appreciation for its past and its ability
(or attempt, depending on your point of view)
to progress forward that draws me to Paris,
in addition to many, other aspects.
It is my hope that my photos shed light on this
rapport between the old and the new, and I invite
you to scroll through all 53 to determine yourself
how historic and/or modern Paris is.
