French Revolutionary Photos

I'm not sure whether or not anyone is interested in this, but I thought I'd post it just in case. I am currently living in Paris and in my free time, here and there, I go to assorted revolutionary sites and take photos. This includes big stuff like the Conciergerie and little stuff like graves and homes of less than famous people. I've been putting it together into albums, which I figured I'd share with anyone who was interested here. This is the first album, a second one is well underway, but I figure I'd post it when it was full.

I agree with you as far as the ones that aren't supposed to be attractive are concerned, but with others, the ones I'm fairly sure are supposed to be pretty, he doesn't capture that very well. (But I agree, I'd much rather have a painter who captures his subject's character than one who tries to make every subject pretty--this is one of the reasons many of Vigée-Lebrun's portraits annoy me.)
