Powells book reading: Paris Changing January 7, 2008

Between 1888 and 1927 Eugène Atget meticulously photographed Paris and its environments, capturing in thousands of photographs the city's parks, streets, and buildings as well as its diverse inhabitants. Christopher Rauschenberg spent a year in the late '90s revisiting and re-photographing many of Atget's locations. Paris Changing (Princeton Architectural Press) features 74 pairs of images beautifully reproduced in duotone. Each site is indicated on a map of the city, inviting readers to follow in the steps of Atget and Rauschenberg themselves.
