Over the past thirty years I have been walking the streets of Paris with the goal of someday being able to experience all of it’s 6,000 rues, passageways, impasses and villas. These visual records document the life of what the French call a flaneur, a term that is commonly
misrepresented. It’s original definition and the spirit in which these walks were undertaken is as follows: “The word describes those who take advantage of a wanderer’s paradise: the streets of the city, filled with charming shops, stirring landmarks and ephemeral encounters.”
