“ Rodin’s Thinker still in the busy Parisian métro ”
In the midst of the busy Parisian métro, at the quiet end of the Varenne station, Rodin’s Thinker sits alone, deep in contemplation. An island of serenity in the daily flow of commuters. The statue is a paradox: perfectly still in a space meant for motion. This shot captures the calm that urban ...

    Love the concept you captured here. It is a paradox, and it does make you reflect on some things
