THE FRENCH LIBRARY OF BOSTON TO SHOW “PARIS IS IN BOSTON”
by JACK DZAMBA

The French Library of Boston will Host “Paris in Boston,” by Jack Dzamba, and Exhibit of Black and White Photographs from October 5 to November 2, 2009 with a “Black Tie Creative-Optional” Opening and Book Signing on Wednesday, October 7, 2009 from 6 – 8 pm.

       If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris …, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast. 
                                                    - Ernest Hemingway

     I love you in a place where there’s no space and time.
                                                   - Leon Russell

PARIS IS IN BOSTON
“Although Hemingway wrote the famous sentence in 1950, I think it has always been true,” said Jack Dzamba, author of the book, Paris in Boston, “and the lyric from Leon Russell speaks of the fragile beauty of a time and place, unless it can always remain with you,” he said.

The book was inspired by the Boston Public Library.  “Every time I looked at The Boston Public Library, I thought, ‘this could be in Paris,’” Dzamba said. “Then, as I looked at a number of other scenes around Boston, the same thought kept coming back to me.  I began looking at Boston in a wholly new light and decided to do this book,” he said. Gallery owner Paula Barr of PaulaBarr Chelsea in New York City, which represents Jack, said, “Once you see this book, you will never look at Boston in the same way again.”

      James Concannon of The Boston Globe wrote,
"Everywhere [photographer Jack Dzamba] looked, he saw intimations of Paris: the Cabot Building is reminiscent of Place des Vosges, Genzyme headquarters at night recalls Notre Dame, and myriad hotels, restaurants, and shops, exude an unmistakable French flair.  This book, with its moody black-and-white photographs of buildings and scenes, makes Dzamba's case for the link between the two great cities."
