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.

V, listen to Babooshka. And I agree with Judy. It is so nice to vicariously tag along with you. I love viewing all your photos. I can just see your sweet gd at school, show-n-tell; 'and here's me at the Museé Picasso..."
Ver nice, once more! Where did you find the chairs?
Hi Mumsie,
I had forgotten about this photo at the Musee Picasso. I think Eva and I were looking at a sculpture of a person on a bicycle? She looks amused!

If that was the UK those kids would be running riot. I'll take those chairs for the garden. Stained glass is always looks good. The family portrait is a lovely image. Nicely popped in the corner and looking out of the frame. Very natural.
Peter,
It was a little square off the road in the Marais. They were just so funky I couldn't pass them by. Neat aren't they.
B.,
Not only were they VERY well behaved, they had been standing outside in the rain for quite a while due to a bomb scare! I was so amused by the fact that the photographs all around the room did not send them in to gales of laughing and snickering like they would here in the states. The French do a much better job of exposing their children to art than we do.
