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.

The B&W makes it. This is a wonderful shot.
Bon Voyage ! Have a wonderful time in the best city in the world. And please say hello to Peter, Eric and everybody else you might meet up with, from me.
Congratulations Virginia...I am sending you a post card of Le Pont du Gard. Can you send me your postal address please, xv.
Safe travels, dear V, and woohoo, guess what ~ you and I both won Vicki's postcards. How wonderful!!!
It does look like an organ of sorts, Virginia...a hand organ. Works for me. Enjoy your trip tomorrow. You won't be far from me! :)
What fabulous photos ...
Wonderful photo! I believe it's called a "barrel organ," in French d'Orgue de Barbarie: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgue_de_Barbarie.
Just found your site a few weeks ago and have been enjoying your photos of Paris SO much--thank you!
ohh is his a goody. Carla
When we were in our apartment in the 11é, an organ grinder came through the neighborhood. He would walk to the middle of the block, play his organ for a few minutes, and, if no one gave him money (I did), he would move to the next block. There were also a couple of walking bands that came by every once in a while.
I love the framed drawing on the side of his beautiful Barbary organ! Wonder how many strangers you'll capture this time. Have a wonderful trip (and plant two bisous on Eric from moi, please).
Are we there yet? I'm getting excited.
Happy travels dear V!!!
