The Eiffel Tower is one of the most recognizable structures in the world. It's been photographed millions of times and in millions of ways. It's a symbol of France and a source of national pride. But for me, it's simply a reminder that I am home. I have lived in the U.S. since I was a young girl, but my heart is, and always will be, in France. I shot the image from a perspective that rendered the emotion I feel about the Eiffel Tower - it is majestic and graceful, tall and all-seeing. And it is home.
