Re-Photographing  Eugene Atget

       Eugene Atget (1857-1927) photographed Paris between 1888 and 1927. He produced a remarkable body of work  - about 10,000 photographs that document Paris at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th. At the beginning of the 21st century, Paris is still Paris, but it is not the Paris of Atget. The degree of difference, and of similarity, is clear from juxtaposing Atget's  photographs with modern photographs taken from the same perspective.
