Shot on Panasonic LX100

The textures of the station walls give an insight into the history of Paris. This is juxtaposed by the subject in the image using a mobile oblivious to the history they are passing by daily.The contrast between this modern technology and the ancient history of the walls is a reminder of how far we have come in such a short time. It is a reminder that even in a city as old as Paris, life is constantly evolving and adapting around us. The vibrant colours of the walls, juxtaposed against the minimalist design of the modern technology, remind us that although Paris may have deep roots in its past, it continues to embrace new technologies and cultures. As we continue to use our phones and rely on technology to navigate our lives, this image reminds us of the importance of staying connected to our history and understanding the roots of our cities.
