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.

A window partly open or a window partly closed? Lovely sepia capture!

You're a honey, Virginia!
This one's gorgeous, too. I'm trying to work it out ~ it's like there are ghosts of the shutters on the wall, as if they were pressed into the rendering while it was still damp. Is this a superimposition that you've done? No, on second thoughts, don't tell me ... I love the mystique!
SS,
I fear it's just good ole Paris dirt that got in between the slats over the years and years! :)

Kcalpesh,
Well that's up to the viewer I would think! Merci!
Yes, you and Shell complement each other. Maybe she'll do one of my county extension agent -- a violet Albert.
I love this one. What is it about Paris dirt? I swear I found it almost romantic. I mean, it's a dirty city! But that's one of the things I liked about it. As though that dirt was left by the Parisii, and better and more historic than other dirt.
Actually, there is a cleaning happening somewhere in Paris at this very moment. There is, indeed, a law that buildings in Paris MUST be cleaned every XX years.
Starman,
Yes, I think you're correct. It's such a lovely old city but they must do some cleaning to keep it that way.
I miss it!

Well, I'll be...! If I had shutters, our walls might have looked like that after the dust storm. No, I doubt it.
Hiker, I fear I just couldn't do justice to your Albert. :)
