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.

these are great! all three. The man's face is priceless. I remember the Rodin Museum - my husband esp. loved seeing his sculptures.
So beautiful the facades of the buildings are. Well done
The railings are gorgeous!
The salesman looks so cool! :-)
Beautiful rainy shot through the museum window, love it! The colours are awesome!
I agree, the rainy shot is really nice and a very different way to illustrate the Rodin museum!
The Salesman was probably not doing too good buisness! :-)
Peter,
No indeed. It was almost like he dared you to buy a paper. HA I almost captioned it " Newspaper Salesman of the Year"! His stern gaze makes me laugh every time I look at him though.
The Rodin remains one of my favorite museums in Paris but then I have many more to see!
The Musee Rodin (Virg must teach me keyboard accent marks) was so inspiring that I barely remembered that it was a rainy day outside.
Karen
thank you V
I love his grumpy face. I would happily of bought from this Parisian. May I take any one of those appartments, anyone that has the marvellous view. Lovely mix again. I hadn't realised How earthy Paris is - the green and brown tones throughout and not just because it's seasonal.
Oh I love those balconies too. And the Rodin is a wonderful photo I would never have thought to take. Poor salesman. He needs a hug.
Those balconies are really special, so typically Parisian and the Rodin; a very original approach..
