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.

Does she not know her curtains are open? ;) I love that ironwork.
I see you! Wonderful composition.
There you are looking up again! Very strategically framed—both the lady herself and your photo. :~}
(My WV is "bulamou." French for "peekaboo"?)
Cette affiche LES ORIENTALES se trouve dans la maison de Victor Hugo. Ce tableau a été peint par Théodore Chassériau et se nomme SCENE DE HAREM !
Belle exposition!
Claudine,
Cette l'apartement de Victor Hugo??Je pensais que c'était à travers le parc. Merci!
So Virg, how do you say y'all when you're in Paris. Vous tout?
Hiker,
I'll let JB weigh in on that one. I"m sure he'll have a smart answer! :)
Oui, l'exposition est dans la maison de Victor Hugo, je crois !
Claudine,
L'exposition est dans la maison maintenant? Quelle dommage, je ne savais pas!!!! :(

@ Hiker.
I have a story to this...
Sitting in the cafe on the corner of her Rue with V and Mary Queen of Arkansas and V says "Yo! Look at those kiddies!"
I said "What are you doing, talking like one of those little corner hoppers in the projects in West Baltimore. And it should be "them little kiddies" Or even "then little mutha$%#@$ers" " (I've watched "The Wire" and I know about these thangs)"
"No" she said "I said Y'all look at those kiddies""
Oh.
"Y'all" is "y'all" no matter whayer y'all go..
From JB's lips to our ears. I told you!
V
Ooh, you'd have to do a double-take at that.
I stand corrected. Probably "Lill chillun"
I'm glad you cleared that up JB.
V
Window dressing or window shopping?
