Book of the Day: "City Confessions #3 Paris" by Ed Templeton
We have the latest entry in our friend Ed Templeton’s City Confessions book series here at Arcana now! And they’re signed! This time around, Ed turns his uncanny, sensitive, courageous, and witty eye on Paris and Parisians. Sacre bleu! It’s our livre du jour, bien sûr! (Super Labo, 2024) From the publisher: "In this third installment of his City Confessions series Ed Templeton presents 69 black and white analog photographs shot in the city of Paris over the last 23 years. Taking long circuitous walks through the city from Montmartre to the Panthéon, from Cimetière du Père-Lachaise to the Champs-Élysées, Templeton spends his days in the streets observing the denizens of the city, both the locals and the tourists as they go about their lives in this historic metropolis. Employing a cinéma vérité style to capture people in everyday situations, the photographs depict daily life in Paris with its ebbs and flows, taking the pulse of a city whose casual chic style is unmistakable."
