Paris After Marville website

The new Paris After Marville website is finally up and running. Access the entire rephotographic project and browse my remakes of Marvilles photos from 50 year ago. Listen to Parisians speak about the old city, gentrification and the loss of ambiance. Aussi en français.

Notre Dame from across the Seine

Thinking of Notre Dame and the way that Paris centres itself around the cathedral and its spire, now lost in the flames.

The first part provides a commentary on Sarah Kennel’s excellent exhibition and book on Charles Marville and the second half, excerpted here, discusses Piercing Time.

Paris d’Après Marville - Free Download

I recently made the decision to make my iOS app project Paris After Marville / Paris d'Après Marville free to install. Download it to your iPhone or iPad for its rich photographic exploration of Paris. My goal is to make this archive of 19th Century photos by Marville accessible along with my own photographs of the streets of Paris. The old maps are fascinating to explore. If you like this, the book version from Intellect Press is available through sites like Amazon and contains extensive texts to support the analysis of the photographic processes of Charles Marville and Eugène Atget.

Download and Review

If you try the app and like what you experience, please write a review in the App Store. This really will help spread the word. I would like to see it used widely and although I am at the end of development, I am at the beginning distribution.

I have decided to set the price at .99US, so don’t hesitate to download it.
