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.

Magic hour .. bathes the city in such glorious light
Isn't that grand. They do look alive.
I would imagine, after all these years, they've gotten a pretty good tan.
One of my mottos.
Living life to the hilt, I see! :) What a grand perspective, Virginia.
Hey Virg, this is long way from P.C. isn't it? Great angle!
Thanks so much for this original angle on a place where I used to spend every Sunday. (That's right: Back in the day it was free every Sunday, not just the first one of the month).
