Scared Red Horse by the passing red car

While living in Taiwan, I was hired by a local publisher who wanted to edit a tourist guide dedicated to Paris. He sent me 3 weeks in the French capital to take as many pictures as possible.

Funny thing is that I truly discovered Paris during that dedicated shooting session, despite the fact that I was born, lived, studied and worked in Paris suburb my whole life before my departure to Taiwan!
Here is a selection of some of the shot which were published in the guide book. Enjoy!
