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.

This triumph of the urban, however, does not entirely represent progress, as the number of people living in urban slums--often under abject conditions--will soon exceed one billion.
