Peter Turnley, a renowned international documentary photographer, will present images of the human condition over the past five decades from over 90 countries worldwide, and he will also present images from his new and highly acclaimed book, Paris-Je t’aime- 50 Years of Photographs. Peter Turnley will also be doing a book signing of this beautiful new book of 320 pages of life in Paris. 

"I have now lived in Paris for 50 years. I first arrived on a fall September day in 1975 at the age of 20. From that first day in Paris, and for the following five decades, my life and my world were reborn.
I have never tried to describe life in Paris. I have always been much more interested in feeling it and offering others the chance to feel it as well. During my life in photography, I have documented most of the world’s important news stories and have traveled to over 90 countries. Amid all this that has profoundly impacted my heart, there has been one constant-I have always returned to Paris, my adopted home which has been both a necessary, and essential balm for my soul. I share with you here within the pages of this book, a visual testament to all that Paris has offered me, and with these photographs, I am grateful to give back to the city and its people and visitors, my love."
