French Strangers #38 and #39
I've never strolled around the gardens of the Palais Royal without finding some very interesting people to photograph. This cute couple was enjoying a little bubbly under the trees. I was feeling a little Paris bleu that afternoon , but they definitely made me smile. Merci!

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.

Oh, that's one of my favorite gardens in Paris -- I love the crunch of the gravel underfoot, and there's often an interesting piece of art. (Not to mention Didier Ludot and Pierre Hardy and Serge Lutens!)
they make me smile too ..
That's the life.
I guess everyone loves this garden. I spent so much time there last trip. My hotel was a half block away so I was there almost every day. It made a nice short cut to some of the other streets.
This next one, I'll be on the other side of the Seine but will visit it as often as I can.
Love the feeling of this photo.
Is it safe to say that "jeans" are now commonplace in Paris?
Harriet,
Oui, if you are young and TRÉS thin! ha. I had to pass on that fashion statement. It was just better that way!

I think we all agree that this is one of the best places in Paris for people watching. I was there for maybe a half an hour that day and got 4 French Stranger photos plus 4 more on the sly. Fertile photography ground not to mention how pretty it is. Ahhhh, I miss it!
All that living ahead! The world's their oyster! Feel good pic.
Alaine,
Oui, they were just so open and happy. They perked me right up!
Why don't more people in the US look like this? I don't mean in terms of attractiveness, but in being relaxed and content?
oh, i want to be there....
