"This photo was taken in Parc Monceau, which is in a fairly wealthy part of Paris. I was staying fairly close by on the Avenue de Wagram. The Deux Chevaux is the iconic car of mid-Twentieth Century France and its familiar and unique design has always stood out to me. In the photo, I am interested in this particularly well-worn 2CV juxtaposed against the classical columns of the park's rotunda. All these years later, I'm amazed by black and white photography's ability to preserve the fading light of a fall day that took place decades ago."

ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK
Whenever I see this car my youth comes flashing back. When I was growing up, one could fly a round trip from London to Paris for $25 and escape to another world. These were the days before the Eurostar train. One could easily jump from a dreary London to the "Moveable Feast”, that Paris was, and still is.. merveilleux."
