"A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of Life."

 -Thomas Jefferson

What you will find in this small album are my attempts at capturing life as it passed me by on the streets of Paris. My attempts at seeing the vulnerable ordinary moments of work, rest, friendship, family, solitude. Paris was generous with these, I think in part because people live in Paris. They don't just move from place to place, they use Paris and her streets and views. And maybe in part because I was actually looking, focusing on these brief flashes and their sensitive nature as I seldom do, in my own moving from place to place.
