Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Wonderful photos. I am loving Paris and the days are just flying by. I think my poor old body is finally getting used to Paris time and I am catching up on sleep.
Last night I took the bus to La Tour Eiffel. Lines too long so I will wait for my friend to arrive to go to the top.
Today I will just wander.
you have some beautiful shots of Paris ! i happen to go there once and a while... my daughter and my sister plus a couple of friends live there but I will always remember my very first time when I was 10 and my godmother treated me a trip to the capital ! It was magic ! the Eiffel Tower, my first Chinese restaurant, the Champs Elysées .... ;-)
I hope I didn't exhaust Karen too much the other day! We walked a lot - and even reached the Luxembourg Gardens, unlike some other(s)! :-) Tomorrow she proposed Père Lachaise for a common walk!
We have still a few things to make (hopefully together), when you will be back!
Wonderful pictures! I would LOVE to know Paris!
Namaki, Lucky you and what a wonderful godmother to take you. Hope my photos bring back some nice memories.
Karen-try la tour when it's pouring rain...no lines!
Sonia, Merci and you really SHOULD go, trust me!
Peter,
Oh yes, the new list is growing already. I have increased my walking time so maybe I'll drag YOU all over Paris this visit. Luxembourg will be close to the apt. so I'll bet there we'll be the very first day - at long last! Dare I hope for better weather this time?
My cousin sold her piano for an accordian. My aunt was not amused. She paid for posh piano lessons for the spoilt one not down market accordian lessons. That's what you get for being a snob.Great catch of the pedestrians in motion, but the stairs riverbank image tops the lot. That really is a classy little number, bursting with angles, shadows and CB touches.
(I have to find out now if my cousin still has that accordian. If she has I want it.)
Paris through your eyes truely rock! Great shots as usual and I love this blog :)
Love the portrait of the street musician. The style of your photo really captures the essence of busking.
The streets look so unique and interesting
