" Mon billet, Monsieur"
( Actually the mother was very smiley in other photos, but this was a better photo of la petite fille handing her ticket to the man.)

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.

A beautiful carousel. I'm amazed how different carousels can be and everyone I've seen is beautiful.
I love the non expression on her face. My god french woman are just so damned cool. When I have that look it means beware. Image's are a real sweetbox of glorious colourful delights.
Yes, I agree she looks very French, but I wish I had not deleted another photo where she was smiling. She was a stunning lady! I was so focused on the little girl trying to hand her billet to the operator. Isn't she just adorable!!!
