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.

Mon dieu you're good. You are the master...er make that mistress of captured light - and that 2nd shot, whew the way that you centered the cross on that center cluster of columns...parfait!

Love the light in the first picture. I don't really remember Saint Germain de Prés. I was only there once for a quick look and that was more than ten years ago.
I agree, especially the first shot is really good!!! The art of seeing the nice "details"!
Merci everyone! The églises in France are so beautiful . How to choose what to post.
Peter,
Safe travels to Sweden. Hope all goes well.
The light on that top one makes for a stunning photo! Well done!
