Abstract
On occasion, when I am photographing corporate sites in New York, I think about Nadar's photographs of Parisian streetscapes. When I look at his images of an earlier Paris, documents of a city in flux in the last half of the nineteenth century, I remember his statement, “Where is my infancy, where is my youth, where are all the aspects that bring back to me fond memories, where I am a traveler who arrived yesterday in the strange city.”1 Nadar was speaking of a city that had changed dramatically from the one of his youth, a city from which he felt increasingly alienated.
