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.

Hi Virginia, I've been enjoying your photos for a long time now, but feel I should now come out of the shadows and post a comment. I always love your images of Paris (and also Birmingham)- but have especially loved the intense light and shadows in your images of the last two days. Thank you.
Winsome,
How nice to hear from you. You are welcome to come by without leaving a comment but it's so nice for me when readers tell me what they enjoy etc. New photos of Paris after this trip !!!!
V
This is just lovely, V!
VJ, re Abe.
Do go to Giverny if you are in Paris during other than winter. I found the L'Orangerie slightly tawdry for some unaccountable reason. All those rounded white walls, maybe ...
Julie,
Thanks for the comment. Perhaps that won't be on my list. Musée MarmottanMonet was just so amazing. What could top that!
Alexa,
I wish you could join me this trip!
I've only been there once.
