The Girl who Mapped Manhattan’s Memories

Never underestimate how far your little art project can go.

Paris: The Little Details

Sometimes I feel like there’s just too much photography of Paris; images we’ve seen time and again of the same monument, the same cobblestone street, the same wrought iron windows.
