Oh the Place des Vosges. As you know I was so fortunate to stay near there this last trip. It's a very special neighborhood. I had some time alone there and one afternoon, as I strolled around I heard music and this marvelous soprano voice. Imagine my surprise. This man, Jean Do Cardi, was singing, but not with words really. There he was, with his bright blue scarf blowing in the breeze. Another Paris moment.

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.

Love this portrait, Virginia. Made even more perfect by the scarf blowing in the breeze.
Wonderfully theatrical, V!
Vibrant colors and interesting character. Great photo!
I was sitting in my Palais Royal apartment one evening during my last Paris trip when I heard a female opera singer echoing through the corridors outside my window. After listening for several minutes I decide to open the door and have have a look. I almost fell over when I saw that it was Jean Docardi. I went back in the apartment and enjoyed the rest of the free concert.
Don't you just love Paris moments? :)
and his rouge chapeau! tres magnifique
James,
Isn't he wonderful! I can't believe you heard him as well. Oui, I love all the special Paris moments!
Je ne connais pas ce chanteur ! Il chante très bien ! Il a un look très spécial !
Uno scatto fantastico da una città fantastica come Parigi
And I love the way you capture so many of those special Paris moments—and that you like to share! Life might be rather dull without characters like these.
Yet another example of V's prowess as a portrait photographer!!!
He doesn't qualify as a "Stranger"?
Chieftess,
Non, I never got to speak with him so I can count him!:)
Alexa,
Isn't it amazing how many "characters" we find in Paris!
Oh yes!! We have seen and heard this man singing as well under the stone arch... :)
Beautiful chants anyway. We stayed in Paris from August 4th until 8th.
Best regards from Belgium, Marjolijn
Love it, Virginia! Looks like he's straight out of Turandot.
Something White,
I am glad you got to enjoy his voice as well!
Polly,
You haven't seen him as much as you are in paris? Go to Place des Vosges and try and find him the next trip!
I did leave a message here, but blogger ate it again. But anyway, I was charmed.
Oh Blogger eats mine all the time. I think Blogger is my Editor. I should listen to him more often! HA
Stay warm !!
