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.

You are so right .... and don't forget also ... to the right and to the left!
Fabulous!!!
Yes, yes, yes Peter - and also look down to save your ankle from a twist and your shoe from a mess du chein.
Oh, I hadn't visited Paris for a few days and look at all I've been missing.
Oh, I lurrrrrved that building...
Le Panthéon is a fabulous place to visit.
The pendulum is missing from these photos, right?
What happened to le pendule de Foucault?
There is so much detail if you look up! I love the banner shot you have over here too!
And don't forget to snap a photo, so you'll have something to jog your memory. That's what I forget to do!
Thanks Virginia for sharing your photos with us!
Just be sure you're inside when looking up. You might literally get an eyeful.
Beautiful blog, Virginia! Yea!
Oh Peter, your cute baby shot again!! :) Yes, always keep your eyes open and don't be afraid to push doors, oui?
Mary,
You have to step carefully for sure!
Louis,
I've posted le pendule previously. You'll have do a search and find it!
Harriet,
I forget to take archive shots some of the time but I'm getting better. When I can't figure out where/what it is, I'm afraid I lean on Peter, my Paris expert to bail me out.
Starman,
C'est vrai!
Maya,
Thanks although it's by far not an "original" shot!
Style,
It is gorgeous isn't it!
Hiker,
Where ya been? Well I know, but I can't say here! HA
Kari and CHieftess,
