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 street appears so artistic and moody
Lovely. The leaves were gone when I was there and those are doors that I missed but are so essentially Paris.
I'm home but it will be awhile before I feel it. I'm still on Paris time and having problems adjusting to the US keyboard and not saying "merci" when served a meal.
Yesterday's photos were of a place where I spent a lot of time. It was so near my hotel and I used it for a shortcut most days. I liked peeking through the tinted windows to watch the workers.
I really miss Paris.
Ahhh yes, I said, "Merci" when served a hot dog not long after I returned. My French class starts soon. I hope to improve!!!
Have you been having dodgy comments? I have had a rash of them this week. The Bistro reminds me of Montpellier. I recommend that city to all, not touristy, but very French and welcoming.
What is grafitti in one counrty is always art in France re the door.
Oh B,
I agree , but this is NOT graffiti pour moi. I love the acrobatic feel these have. Gang scrawl is not "art" in my opinion.

i could wander these streets forever
I also talked about graffiti and Mésnager (http://peter-pho2.blogspot.com/search/label/Graffiti)! Have to make some publicity! :-))
Ah Peter, I should have done a search on your blog! Thanks for adding that for us.
B, No "dodgy" comments, just typos! HA
KM, Paris is your kind of place for sure. Ever been?
