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.

I like the "narrow street" in Le Marais.
I heard yesterday evening on the news that Museums in France are now free for people under the age of 25.
I enjoyed viewing your photos of my favourite city in the world. Haven't been since 05' but hopefully my wife will go there on business this year and I'll be forced to accompany her ;)))
Look forward to more photos.
I love door number 9 and think I have photos of it, too. It is so beautiful and the images above are lovely. It is in the Marais, isn't it?
I went to a collage/found art show nearby called Metamorphosis. It was my kind of art and I spent way too much money there.
That top shot looks like one of my blogging friends. You have to go to old Nice,Nimes and Montpellier. The third shot took me back there, the narrow alley ways. The boy is just too cute. Spot on with going for mono with one and three and colour for the kid.
Door no.9 is a classic!
LEon,
Merci. Most of my viewers are fed up with DOORS! It is in the Marais, a hot bed for photographers!
love that door!
Well glad there is a groundswell for the doors The end is near, and I have thought long and hard about what to put on these final days. LONG LIVE THE DOORS. I have one or two more to thrill your souls.

How could we ever get tired of seeing those fascinating doors?!? Love the reader, and the boy, both make me smile. And the narrow street beckons... Thanks V!!
Love the narrow street picture. Thanks for all these wonderful images of Paris. I'm glad you're leaving this blog up and look forward to the new photos come May. Cheers!
Great door. Doors do have a special attraction. Wonderful color, very warm.
