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.

So you did get to the Carnavalet. I spent a lot of time in there. It seems relatively unknown on the tourist circuit.
Those clouds hanging over the Arc du Triomph (is this the correct spelling, V?) make it more beautiful. This is grand, V. Love some of your other photos too.
Love your gathering storm photo! Excellent!
Gathering storm over the Arc is a seldom seen image and has a disruptive charm. Louisa just drips of style, french style and La Porte is quite deceptive. It's almost 3D, multi layered light and textures. Do you paint any of your images?
B,
Maybe one day I'll paint again. I hope so. Twenty years ago I did some classes and mostly watecolor. I want to so badly but can't satisfy myself. The angst of a painter. For now, photography fills that need.
The Arc with the gathering storm was a wonderful image to find. Paris awards photographers so many prizes!
Storm over the Arc makes me feel I am standing there. The moodiness is wonderful. Louisa looks so much like my visions of a lovely Parisien lady. Of course I love all your 'door' photos.
A nice little collection again! Did you open the doors at Carnavalet? It's worth it!
