About Me
- Virginia
- Birmingham, AL, United States
- I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

Ge, you're good, girl
Hello Virginia.I'm very glad I found your blog I love your pictures.I bookmarked you so I remember visit you often,I'm looking forward your new posts.
Thank you for shareing
Henrietta from Finland
excellent stop! i like this composition!! regards
Virginia -- It is interesting that some of our favorite photos are "enhanced" by people who just popped in -- love it!
JB,
I think you were at my elbow when I shot this one. Across the street from the music store!
Genie,
Yes, I think the human element always or almost always adds interest.
Costea,
Thanks for your nice comment and visit here.
Henrietta,
Welcome. come often.
I do use the term "girl" loosely, of course....
Who're you calling a Loose Girl, JB?? :)
Sometimes the "human element" adds to the moment, but I wish they would be a tiny bit more considerate when they see you're shotting a picture.
Starman,
I shudder to think how many shots I"ve walked into trying to get my own. Sometimes I'm so intent , I forget to look around me.
Last weekend it was a festival of women with cameras more than once walking into one another's shot
This rider definitely adds to the composition—but where's his yellow shirt? I can't imagine how many pics I've walked into while crossing the Brooklyn Bridge—used to break my stride and wait for them to get the shot, but no more (though I'm short so I can often duck under).
Let's hope there are no bulls on the loose!
Oooooh I LOVE this, Virginia. If I'd taken this the man on the bike would have been a total blur. Somehow with you it's worked beautifully. Absolutely sharp background and that marvellous movement from the guy on the bike. I really like this shot.
Bonjour! Just catching up ~ I love this shot!
