Montmartre Rue Foyatier Paris







This morning I couldn't remember Brassai's name.

Hunting around on the internet I came across lots of things about Ansel Adams and John Muir.

Then I found some references to Brassai. He was not a French photographer, he was a Hungarian photographer living in Paris. Duh. Uh, I knew that.

On several different trips to Paris I tried to re-create Brassai's famous black and white picture looking down the long steps on Rue Foyatier, which is called "The Stairs."

These stairs are right next to the funicular.

On the Butte, just below the sacred heart church. -
