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.

The building looks very classic and stylish.
The man captured in this post looks like deep in thoughts.
Great series!
I rediscover Paris I like your photos of buildings and especially the wall of "je t'aime "
What an unique chandelier. So glad you thought to take a photo of it. Oh now that's quite a dapper looking gentleman. He looks as if he is showing compasion for the pigeon! What an amazing sight is the old church building, from the 1640's I believe. I can't imagine...
Happy you found the Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis Church; it's worth a visit!
The guy and the pigeon...priceless. Well spotted.
I thought that was amber, so that fooled me. Great quirky image. Of course it's the gentleman and pigeon, going about there business I am drawn to. This is the kind of people photography I enjoy doing and veiwing. I have to snap so many posed images that it is refreshing to see natural slices of life.
Very original chandelier!
The church looks beautiful and the photo is gorgeous! Shame I've never been there...
I love the "piece of conversation" between man and bird!
I don't think I am ever drawn to a pigeon going about its business ...
for some reason, those lights in the first pic remind me a hat you would see on a girl doing the jitterbug. V, I emailed you. Talk to me!
you had a favor to ask?
KM, Email me again. I don't have yours. Yes a big favor s'il vous plait!
Bergson, A compliment that you rediscover Paris here. Merci.
The gentleman at Palais Royal seems to be giving the pigeon the right of way. I especially loved this photograph.
The church was just a wonderful place to visit. The Morais is filled with fabulous sights of old Paris. Do not miss it! THanks Barbara!
Oooh I so want that chandelier! You've captured it wonderfully. As much as I miss Paris, I can't say I'd want to be there now during this cold snowy weather. I like to walk everywhere, but I also don't like being cold, so I fear I'd end up drinking all day in a cafe. Well, that might be fun too. Thanks for continuing to share your amazing Paris photos!
My goodness, Virginia. You are like the Energizer bunny. You just keep going and going. Bravo! This is a wonderful record of your trip.
Picture perfect! I'm not sure where this one is, but the light is so brighting is much brighter inside than some of the older Cathedrals. Love the organ here.
Hahaha....I LOVE your "favorite French tune". Who woulda thubnk Engelbert Humperdinck was French?
The churches! So beautiful. I can never get too much of them. I love that the chairs are movable.
Great series.
HA! Starman, you are absolutely right! Although "I'll Be Seeing You" is a song about Paris, it's time for another song. Merci!

Merci mes amis, I too loved all the churches. This one is so old and so special. I am glad you like it as well.
