This summer I have travelled more than ever before, starting with a long trip to London, Paris, and Milan. I decided to focus on the people in these places – both tourists and locals – living and relaxing amongst these amazing works of architecture and history. Most of the people in the photos aren’t aware of what is surrounding them. Maybe they are locals that have become numb to the grandiosity that surrounds them every day, every moment. Maybe they are tourists taking a break from soaking in the unending amount of beauty, coming from places whose history isn’t as deeply rooted. Do I do that, too? Do I not appreciate the city I live in, the lake and river and architecture? Do I sit near it, drive through it, without paying mind more often than not? We can’t focus on that all the time, but I do hope I never take living in a city that people travel abroad to visit for granted.
love these, julie!
