When you take over 3,000 photos you often overlook some that you missed on first review. Today I discovered these three, and they all seemed to go together. These were taken at the Palais Royal. I think they are thought provoking.

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 love these profiles in thought shots. Although, the 2nd pic leads me to believe some of de Parisians may bee recognizing de mademoiselle from de south of america.
V, keep up your fantastic shooting!
Love these! Paris looks like the perfect place to people watch. (No alliteration intended there.)
The shots of the girl on the bench are fantastic! Really good that you found them!
Wow, look at that hair! Mine looked like that in Jr. High! Great shots and fitting to the title.
Her hair reminds me of my own at that age as does the angst... I love that the man at the fountain looks as if he is steering that geyser!
yes they are. manifique, V!
In the first shot, she looks like she's on her cell phone.
No cell phone here although I had a few thoughts that she was actually posing for me , but I think that a lot in Paris. So many wonderful people to capture.
Love the hair comments. I never looked like that. I came prior when every hair was in place! HA
Janet,
Get yourself to Paris and we'll find plenty of characters to photograph . I promise.
I wonder what she thinks about you taking her picture...?
Rip,
I was just that close to her taking photos of the children. She as "lost in thought" and seemed to ignore us and me with my camera clicking. How could I resist????
Mrs.J
Well I couldn't resist. People acting naturally are so much better than posed.
