Astrid Riecken

Photographer Astrid Riecken travels to cities where old buildings, monuments and other landmarks won't reveal easily the date of the photograph. Paris is a perfect city to hunt for such photographs. This city offers countless street corners, coffeehouses, old palaces, gardens and places where time appears to stand still.
