Herodotus project
photographic tours by Shane Solow

"I own a series of the most beautiful photos of ancient statuary....
I never tire of spreading them out before me.
It purifies me of certain desires.
I flirt (with muses) and I am the better for it.
I no longer believe in the banishment from paradise."

Paul Klee, 1901

Lost Trails mourns the loss of Seth Benardete,
a teacher to Shlomo Felberbaum and Shane Solow,
and without whose inspiration
this project might not have been realized.
