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.

And the women have many other things to do, apparently...! Beautiful portraits, Virginia.
Oooh, he's giving you the look, isn't he? Yikes!
I agree with Maya ... was he really fine with the picture taking ?
The photograph of the man looking into the camera is a very good photograph.I like the observation of the woman also.
More please.
Oh wow, he does seem to be giving you 'the eye', Virginia! Or maybe he was trying to catch a reflection of his opposing player's cards in your camera lens, hee hee. Magnificent pics.
Especially the first photo is fantastic, a prize winner!!!
I don't always comment but I come by and always savor...
Shell, My friend thought the same thing!
Laurent and Maya,
He didn't try and stop me. Several others, chess players, would hold up their hand if they didn't want photos. I really didn't realize I was getting such a stare until I looked at the pictures on the computer.
Maya, I thought this was taken when you and Janet and I were there but think we just found chess players that day.
Peter,
Peut-être mon "prix" est un verre de champagne??
Ian and Thérèse, Glad you stopped by and left a comment!
Alice,
I never saw many ladies there. The men were everywhere playing pétanque, cards, chess. Maybe the ladies were shopping! :)
Virg, that top photo is an absolute stunner! A work of art.
He was SO giving you the evil eye!
Maybe he thought you were going to tell the others which cards he was holding. Or he couldn't believe a beautiful woman wanted his picture.
