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.

Through a window, but not so darkly.
How snug we can feel inside, wrapped up by the lamplight and sometimes forgetting we've become a beacon to the outside world. :) What a lovely office.
I remember that night - it was FREAKING cold...hope that you're enjoying the CA sunshine!
Very cool shot. It really piques my imagination. I have to laugh because there was a couple of times when I didn't shut the drapes while staying in Palais Royal and I saw face's pressed against the window.
Once sombody tried to walk into the apartment with us. lol :)
One could make up all kinds of stories about this photograph....
Oh, this is how one lives at Palais Royal! I'm so glad. It's just as it should be.
