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.

V, I LOVE this. What a great photo it is.
Indeed, the red is gloriously stark and erect. The smell of a geranium leaf is one of the distinct pleasures of summer.
Well, that's a tough choice to make, but it's certainly a glorious photo, V! And again, I appreciate the humble little geranium...
Poetic ...
Beautiful photo V. Parisian cemeteries sure do provide unique and special opportunities for amazing photos.
Yes! This is a great photo!!!! What a great place to 'rest in peace.'
It doesn't look like there's much room for anyone else.
Deliciously moody. I love it.
Stick with me, I'll get you to every obscure cemetery in Paris!
