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.

Oooh Virginia, I adore all the candles in the Churches.
I always light several for all my dear friends make home, and then say some prayers for them too!
I've not been to this Church in the Marais - now added to my list for next time.
Thank you!!
Take care
Shane
I love the area of Marais.
We were just down the rue, but never went in.
In most of the churches you do not get "action shots" but you have a real knack! Just beautiful, Virginia.
Oh, the light is just lovely, V! Like Shane, I can't go into a church without lighting a candle or two.
Beautiful soft light
Lighting a candle and saying a prayer for all those in need - how wonderful is the glow and how calming the atmosphere. I love how the candle light is lighting up her cheek,it makes me imagine how her whole face must be illuminated.
Beautiful!! Very contemplative...
