Abstract
From the introduction :
"For the past seven years, I've traveled to Paris to walk in the steps of the renowned photographer, Eugène Atget, whose photographs represent the quintessential views of the art and architecture of Paris during the late 19th and early 20th century.
To the extent that oncoming traffic, reconfigured streets, ongoing construction and innumerable other challenges permitted, I took my photographs from the exact location and with the same perspective as those selected by Atget. My photographs were then enlarged to the same size as the glass plates he used, 18 x 24 centimeters.
Placed together in a two-window mat, the resulting diptychs, which now number well over 200, reveal the Paris of Atget, then and now."
