Paris in Black and White
After years of shooting Paris in Color, I’ve been increasingly drawn to black and white. Thankfully, there is no shortage of beautiful light and shadow in Paris.
Four new prints in the shop:
Cafe de Flore
Rue Bailleul
Réaumur-Sébastopol Métro
Cite Metro

Église Saint-Merri
Lovely organ music lured us into this small gothic church near the Le Centre Pompidou. People were assembling and handing out programs, so we hurried past to get a peek at the architecture in case we were crashing an event.
Many of the confessionals were empty with the exception of a few chairs here and there. As I neared the organ, I saw a student/teacher scenario that made me smile.

Café Le Nemours
Café Le Nemours is one of the most famous cafés in Paris. When you round the corner at Rue Richelieu and see it across Place Colette, it’s easy to understand why. As beautiful as it is during the day, there’s something magical about the warm light at night. Add rain, and it just about brings you to your knees.
If you’re in the mood for a mini escape, take a virtual tour of Place Colette and Café Le Nemours on google street view (a somewhat embarrassing guilty pleasure of mine).
Rue Guillaume Apollinaire at Night
Something about the way the warm light from the street lamps hits this spot. Gets me every time.
