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 this is wonderful .. I love wandering flea markets and shooting the stuff I can resist .. I tend to always come home with something ..
I have stacks just like this in my garage and studio. I think I bought every old photo and piece of paper ephemera I could find at the flea markets both here and on my first trip to the French countryside.
Now to find one in Paris.. like I really need to add more to my piles. Of course "need" has nothing to do with the collecting disease.
I have a feeling that I will show Karen the way soon! :-)
Peter,
I think she might have "pack rat" issues. Don't let her buy ANYTHING!
Karen,
The word "need" is not in my shopping vocabulary either. However, I didn't buy a thing here! Quelle surprise! It was great fun just looking, however.
I don't know if it is a magazine or and old LP of Tangos. My God I still have a lot of LP's from long time ago!
I just love this photo for some reason...V its one of my favs =)
Merci Nancy.
Adrian, You wouldn't believe the LP's in my basement. I know they are unplayable now, not that I have a turntable any longer, but I can't part with them. They are priceless ones from the 60's!!!! There's a bar here that is covering their tables with the top portion of old LP's then putting a polyurethane coating on them. I'll take pictures when they're done. Neat idea!
