“The best way to go 
  into an unknown territory is to go in ignorant.”
          ~ Dorothea Lange

My dream the last few years has been to shoot black and white photographs of Paris, particularly these steps  in Montmartre. 

Take away the color and the texture in this city - the balconies, trees and bridges, the cobblestones, the woven seats of the cafe chairs, the Rose Window of Notre Dame - tell the story.

Or maybe it's just the romantic in me ...

The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes 
but in having new eyes.

                ~ Marcel Proust
