In July when I spent the day in le Marais, I met this charming young Polish photographer on the streets, selling his photographs. Most of his work was shot in India and Tibet. It was one of those times when you wish you had a pocketful of Euros. If I had, I would have bought them all! I did purchase 5 of his small postcard size images. They are remarkable. I love this portrait and I'm not sure why I've held onto it so long and not shared it with all of you. Pardon!

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.

marais always surprised me...nice shot.
He is so happy to have his work appreciated and his image preserved by a lovely woman
Oh, he's very beau. And what Daryl said -- he's obviously charmed as well.
Hiker, Yes he was very beau! :)
Daryl,
I regret I don't have his name. I can't read the signature on the photographs I purchased. I'm sending my daughter in search of him when she visits in November.
Heleno,
Merci
There are so many hidden gems in the Marais, you spend most of a lifetime and not find all of them.
and I LOVE the bistrot picture!
Starman,
I aim to please! :)
I can see the appreciation on his face...from one kindred spirit to another. Lovely capture!
DW,
Well I can tell you I appreciated his talent and his photographs immensely! What a nice young man he was. Sometimes I look at the portraits I make and am saddened that I can't keep up with them and their lives. I wish him well. And i have his photographs to remember him by.
V
A very nice portrait, V! He looks exactly like a young Polish friend of ours! You did well in buying some of his photos!
This is a fantastic portrait, successful on every level. V, this is one of your very best, imho.
Sweet!
you've charmed another one!
This picture says so much! What a great "stranger" to meet!
