2024, "Respite: The Moments In Between"
Peter Turnley lived more than half his life in Paris, and considers it a second home. His photographs of Parisian life maintain his devotion to the human condition, but seem influenced by the romance that this city holds for many. This depiction of two lovers in a café is a simple representation of people going about their day, yet there is beauty within this moment of rest and rejuvenation.
