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.

Were you there very early, to get such an intimate shot? Gorgeous—and good to see a man cleaning in the church of kept women!
This is a very peaceful scene, Virginia. You can almost "hear" the silence, perhaps a lone person's heels clicking down a distant hallway. I love "behind-the-scenes" photographs such as this. Other behind-the-scenes images that have always fascinated me are images such as a maid walking down a hallway of an elegant hotel and shiny luggage carts being whisked through the lobbies; restaurant scenes with their apron-adorned waiters and loaded trays standing by the tables; and doormen standing guard outside high-end buildings and stores in their fancy uniforms. I don't know what it is about these kinds of images that intrigues me.
Great capture of a quiet moment.
I also feel for this sweeper. Look at all those chairs to get under.
Beautiful, rich color!
I want to know more about how it became the Church of Kept Women???
