teNeues, 2003. Hardcover. Fine. Fine. only leafed through once. Tall book (almost 20 inches) that offers a fascinating new perspective on a town often photographed. Ships from Hawaii This pictorial tribute to one of the world's most beautiful and romantic cities offers a unique introduction to the "City of Light". Award-winning photographer Horst Hamann used a panoramic camera to painstakingly set up shot after shot, often finding himself precariously balanced off Notre Dame's gargoyles, the balconies of the Pompidou Center - even the Eiffel Tower. His efforts have produced an astonishing array of images, stark black and white compositions that lend these photographs a dramatic, often dreamlike quality, and offer unique, vertical reinterpretations of some of Europe's most recognizable cityscapes.
