Starman, Well I"ve done rouge et bleu. I"m not sure about jaune. Let me dig. The coffers are getting slimmer I regret to say. I'm going to be sad when the photos run out and i have to stop. This blog has been a way for me to drag out the experience. Well.......I guess I'll just have to pack my bags and get back over there, oui? V
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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 second shot .. love it
Maybe you could institute a series of shots in all the primary colors? Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time I thought of it.

V: I've just run out of Paris shots myself. This makes me sad, but at least now I can move on to my Provence shots!
