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.

Love the photo of the Church seats.
I adore fortressed towns and would love to install myself in that first little house for a few months.
«Louis» knows Provins well! He's attended the Fête du Moyen Âge there.
Marvellous details.
V, Loved YOUR Paris.......REALLY LOVE your country! Excited to have your students share with us.
Fun in the country! I love the second shot of the pews. Great light and perspective!
Lovely .. the last shot .. totally made me want to climb into the picture ...
Va-meanwhile back in Birmingham...we all miss you and are ready for you to come home except that will mean we have to give up our vicarious and exquisite French vacation. When you figure out how to have both, please let me know. Evelyn
Love the bottom photo though I would have focused on the background and not the plants in the foreground.
Your banner photo really captures the beauty of the small towns in France.
Keep those photos coming. Loving every one.
Evelyn,
Merci for the comment! I miss you all too but not enough to come home!HA
Starman,
I tried the focus both ways. THis one worked a little better. A canal in Provins.
Has to be the last one. It's the dof. That's an image you wouldn't have attempted a year ago, but now fab results.
