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 as usual, Virginia.
I am back home after a long tortuous airline journey yesterday.
It will take me a long time to really appreciate all that I experienced in Paris. I'm homesick for it already.
I love travel but I keep leaving pieces of myself in all of the beautiful places I've been and miss the lovely people I have met.
I bet you are looking forward to your trip back this year. I may go with you in spirit and enjoy it vicariously as I do with this blog of yours.
The bookseller's expression is interesting. I assume he was just surprised. Your photos are always a pleasure, your pov always unique.
Beautiful, beautiful photo of St Paul, St Louis Church. I feel like I;m looking at something taken hundreds of years ago.
The bookseller looks very nonplussed. What did you do to him? Each one so different today, but the common thread is you really are doing a grand job. For me PTYL is a real chill zone.
B,
I think I had just taken a photo of some posters or something and he was just a titch miffed. Nothing too bad. Not one of my best shots.
K,
Thanks for stopping by. Your photos are amazing.
