There are lots of memorable moments from this summer's this summer's Olympics.
If you want to see some of them up close, you can just head to the Paris photo gallery.
But don't worry, you don't need a plane ticket.
This week's Tapestry segment takes us to the Olympic photography exhibition in Paris.
Bourbon County, Kentucky.
The concept for the Paris The Paris Olympic Photo Gallery Exhibition really came after the last few days of covering the Olympics for USA Today, and I realized there were 15, 20, 30 people who are friends and colleagues that you see every 2 to 4 years at an Olympics.
And I thought it would be great to get all their images together in one place and do it specifically at the Paris Gallery in Paris, Kentucky.
We have 21 photographers are present in this gallery.
From institutions like Getty and Reuters and the AP and USA Today.
A lot of these images can only be seen here in Paris, Kentucky.
We have about 50 framed photos showcasing, you know, a lot of the highlights that we all saw while watching the Olympics and then some intimate moments that, you know, weren't able to be seen by those of us just watching from home.
Usually towns host the Olympics, but Paris, this go round was the Olympics.
Every event was really underneath the shadow of something like the Eiffel Tower or the palaces or the river.
But I think that energy really came to a point where it probably will never be replicated in any other town at any other Olympics, because I don't know how you could possibly do it.
Paris is a really special place.
There's really high highs and really low lows.
And that's in, you know, sports across the board from high school to the Olympics.
And that's really what as these photographers are looking for, those iconic moments in time, these iconic moments in history that, again, you maybe see on the TV for a fleeting moment, but then a still photographer can capture it for eternity.
It's really unique to have this group of people together because these photographs don't usually show up in a gallery or an exhibition.
They show up in newspapers, they show up on websites.
I think one of the problems that we face in today's society is that we view everything on a screen.
Having it here in a gallery allows you to get up and close and and step back farther away and look at something or, you know, it's it's something that it's an actual material item.
It's tactile.
And I think people appreciate that.
I think there is a huge gap with fine art and and great photography work in small communities.
And so, you know, being able to kind of bridge that gap is is a goal of ours.
This gallery isn't just about showing work on the wall.
It's about bringing people from the community into the doors.
We really hope this place will become that place where people will have that opportunity to come and chat and talk.
And photography is a way of bringing people together.
It always has been and it always will be.
From Paris to Paris, the exhibition is free, but you can buy the photos right off the wall.
And all proceeds benefit Boyd's Station, a nonprofit photography residency for students in Harrison County.
