Les Invalides
Photogravure
Louis XIV. initiated the project to build Les Invalides by an order dated 24 November 1670. The history of this beautiful site has been long and tumultuous to say the least. For me I was immediately struck in the same way I found myself being amazed by sites all over Paris. The age, grandeur, and beauty of the buildings and grounds feel overwhelming and perfect at the same time. As a photographer I found myself once again searching out a small detail or glimpse that embodied the feelings I had in the moment.
After developing the film in my darkroom I noticed the perfect silhouette of a blackbird that volunteered to model for my picture.
