A look at the people and the fabulous city in which they live and work. From the very young to the war veteran, the lovers to the unwelcomed, Paris is a place where all convene. The streets and the Seine River serve not only as the backdrop but as primary subjects of the photographer as well, If a glimpse of this Essay triggers a memory for you of a trip once taken or acts as an incentive for one in the future, then the Essay has worked its magic on these pages just as the City does in real life.

Each day as the sun begins to set, until the time when it returns the following morning and breaks the horizon, the light is at its most wondrous points. Colors become much more vivid, earth tones take on new qualities, and water and air reflect differently than they do in the mid-day. The moments to capture these images are fleeting; one simply must act or at least be ready to.
