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.

I love how this perspective makes the city of Paris disappear... It almost seems that you are shooting from low in a field
The crown of mist suits La T quite well!
Bisous,
Genie
Yes, she looks lovely! Nice capture Virginia.
Belle! Nice shot, I guess that sort of picture is easy to miss.

Genie,
From Tuileries! :)
I don't think people believe how tall it is if they haven't seen it.
Oh my—she looks quite ethereal, doesn't she? (I JUST took a very similar shot of the Chrysler Building—quelle coincidence.)
Alexa, like a gauzy chapeau!
Ashbags,
I was overwhelmed the first time I stood beneath her and looked up. She is far grander than the photographs
Rob,
I photograph her from all over Paris. :)
Je préfère le soleil.
I just knew it! I knew if I clicked on your bookmark I'd see the Eiffel Tower. Thanks for not disappointing!
Starman,
We ALL préfère le soleil, but realistically in Paris we have to find other ways to float our boats, or bateuaus or whatever! :)
Suz,
It's all about the ET and YOU!!!
Love the mist...yep, looks ethereal!!!
Misty in Paris! Lucky you to be there at the right time!
I love what you've written here. The shot is great! Very accurate of Parisian weather.
Were you kneeling? Its super!
Nope, I was in TUileries looking up at her!
