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.

Superbe photo! Félicitations!
Superb is right. This is glorious, V.
I love the Opera Garnier! Usually the most beautiful snaps are from inside the building; the handpainted roof or the heavy gold...but this image from the outside is equally 'fantastique'
You know how much I love lamp posts and this is o exception.
I recognized it even before the whole image was visible on my screen. Sometimes you can say it all with a well-chosen detail—as you have here, V.
Virginia, I love the architectural details and contrasts here. Great shot with the gold faces peering over the edge of the façade.
Tres jolie.
That was such a fun night - after the Opera we walked over to Repetto and then Place Vendôme, n'est-ce pas?
Good image point of view.
Gorgeous, gorgeous.
