Map Plates are like the Old Plate images you will find in other galleries, but these have an additional map layer which blends with the sky, foreground, or both. The map reflects the setting, its rough time period and the location of the subject. In the case of buildings, you will be able to locate the building on the map if you look carefully.
As with so many other people around the world, I was heartbroken as I watched the footage of flames engulfing the roof of Notre Dame of Paris. The church represents so many different things to each of us, things which are difficult to express. For me, that expression comes most easily through photographs, so I have collected in this gallery a number of those expressions, some of which I realize may never be seen in quite the same way again. I feel grateful and honored to have walked among the stones of Notre Dame of Paris, of everyone’s Notre Dame.
