I saw all of her pictures at around the time that they were taken. Looking at them again yesterday and today from with the perspective of time I am struck by what a good eye she has.
Here are some of her Paris pictures that deserve another look.
This is from Eglise de la Madeleine. Clearly visible in the distance is the Obélisque at the Place de la Concorde. The obelisk appears to loom in front of the National Assembly facade. The National Assembly meets at Palais Bourbon which is actually across the Seine. Also visible is the even more distant dome at Invalides.
This is a view of Place Vendome, with Napoleon's column framed against a blue sky.
The awnings on the left of the photo are the Ritz Hotel. This is where the paparazzi where gathered when Dodi and Di and left from the back entrance. They had to scramble to their scooters in order to catch up to the fleeing plutocrats near the Place de la Concorde. The limo took a turn to the right and entered the tunnel at Pont de l'Alma. The rest of the story is well known to all.This is, I think, a wonderfully composed shot taken from the first outdoor level at the Pantheon. The tower on the right is well known to all. The tower on the left is la Tour Montparnasse, the only rival on the Paris skyline for Eiffel, the only skyscraper in Paris.
This is the Place at Eglise St. Eustache, near les Halles.
These are all really nice photos, all deserving of another look.
