Actually, I noticed the scissors as soon as I saw his very original haircut—thought there was a connection. He can have the haircut, but I'll take that jacket, s'il te plait, monsieur!
Alexa, That's what I love about this blog. Everyone that comes here loves Paris and for many different reasons. You all seem to just take delight , no matter what I offer because it is after all.........our dear, dear Paris. V
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful 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". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different 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. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. 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.

Brilliant Virginia. The mix of the guy with the weird haircut and the cute little dog is perfetto! V H Cartier-Bresson it seems to me.
And he has excellent posture! Love the pug. Adorable, V!
I love it! This looks like a shot you could have taken in Seattle!
Ah .. too funny ... the pug's tush and his person's hair ..
This must be in the marais....
;-)
Hi!
The people in France have their own style, I think!
Great b&w photo!

You'd think a Parisian would know better. But then, he may not be a Parisian.
Was this picture taken in the Marais? It's very much from there :)
It reminds me of Sydney in the
1980's. From behind the two are almost symmetrical.
Great catch! The large scissors ahead of him seem to be waiting.

A different perspective on Paris.
Oui, le Marais!

Love the scissors floating the the background...as if they will cut the rest of his hair!!!
Mary, You were in that store buying the great little bag with the artichokes on it. I didn't notice the scissors till I opened it the other day.
