Some of the most enduring images to represent part of the Parisian lifestyle the last 100 years are the Café and Bistros. These establishments act as a place for social gathering and community as well as spaces that offer a quiet place for leisure, work, and people watching. As a regular at many of these Café’s and Bistro’s in my corner of Paris, I wanted to capture these moments of looking briefly at the lives of those around us in these spaces and the innate connection we share. That in the simple act of looking around can open us up to the beauty of being present in everyday life and the simple interactions we have with one another. I think of these as a love letter to the city that has become my home.
