The Glow of Paris: The Bridges of Paris at Night

With stunning black and white photos in the Ansel Adams tradition this is a real Paris photography gem. Bob Bishop, editor, The Paris Voice
An exhibition spanning the history of the Paris bridges, The Glow of Paris, presents stunning silver-gelatin nighttime photographs. Beginning in 2008. American photographer Gary Zuercher pursued his project of photographing the bridges that cross the Seine. He shot only at night, on film and in black and white. He then researched and documented the fascinating history of each of those bridges. The photographs capture many of the beloved landmarks of the city, including Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower. The fascinating history of the bridges starts with Julius Caesar wringing about his conquest of Paris in 52 B.C. and continues through the centuries to the present day. |
