In 2008, Daido Moriyama traveled to Chalon-sur-Saône and Saint-Loup in France, following in the footsteps of Nicéphore Niépce, who made the earliest surviving photograph. Standing at the window of Niépce’s former laboratory, Moriyama turned his camera toward the courtyard below. Following Letter to St. Lou, this photobook continues his homage to Niépce by revisiting the light and shadows of a place where photography began.
