Here's another portrait I've been saving for a special occasion. Last June, I watched this interesting gentleman throughout my délicieux déjeuner with Marie and Genie at Hier & Aujourd' hui in the 17eme . Finally, as dessert was served, I just couldn't resist. I pulled out my camera and took two quick shots. I liked the backlighting that almost put him into a silhouette.

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.

BONNE ET HEUREUSE ANNEE !
HAPPY NEW YEAR !
He has a face..deeply lined by life. Bet he would have some interesting stories to tell..Great shot.
The stories make the man / or woman.
Beautiful picture. Happy new foto year!
Whether you're being deliberate or super-sneaky, you always manage to pull off a beautiful portrait, V! Have you had your black-eyed peas and collard greens?
A wonderful shot indeed! I let far too many photo ops like this slip away. I'm glad that you pulled out the camera.
Now it's my turn to envy you!
Have a great time in Paris (as if you wouldn't) :)
p.s. I love your header photo!
BONNE ANNÉE !
Love the new header... just perfectly symbolic of Paris
What a wonderful lunch we had that day and I'm so glad you got this stealth shot... what character he has
Bonne année, V
G
I luv this! Of course I could say this about all these fotos.
Have a Parisian New Yr, VJ!
Oh thank you my dear friends for commenting on New Year's Day here. I'm glad you like Monsieur and my header. I can hardly wait to get back to Paris and take many more.
V
You handled the glare with pananche, VJ.
Alexa,
Mais oui! I had that plus pork chops tonight. I am ready for the NEW YEAR! HA
Julie,
I know it's not just right but sometimes I throw caution to the wind when I really love a photo. This was one of those times. I had to have him!
Cafe,
Merci!! I"m happy to see you again.
Genie,
Mary and I plan to dine there again. Thank you for showing it to me. I hope we can find It!
Janey

Superb portrait.

Yes, thank you!
A favorable situation - a splendid shot.
Virginia, you captured him beautifully! That was a delightful lunch -- both the meal and the company. I love your new header!
This shot is genius, Virginia!
