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.

Oh! A perspective I've never seen before. Usually shots of the Seine/buildings involve bridges. I like this different approach V
N ice one Virginia :D
Nicely framed.
Reminds me of our house in Michigan where we had a tree like this. Beautiful. Thanks for such a really wonderful memory.
You have really a gift!!
Danke für das tolle Foto!!!
liebe Grüße
Not a B&W but nearly so. I like it.
OH Virginia this photo just did something to me... I love that!
If I had been there, this is the shot I would have taken .. love it
You should see these trees today with that great blue sky and sun ... they're growing leaves incredibly fast.
A lovely view of the Seine!!! And an unusual shot!!! Good work V!!!
Oh what you could teach me about how to frame a photo, ma belle!
Very nice.
What a fabulous composition! :)
Léia
Indeed you are gifted...I always agree with Peter!!!
You are all very kind. I almost didn't post this one. I even sent it to Genie to ask her opinion! I wish I'd shot it vertically. I think that's why I'm still not sure about it. Now that I read your comments, I'm feeling better.
Merci mes amis!!

Tres pretty. Your comment today reminded me of this joke. Sex addict goes to shrink. Shrink shows him Rohrschach and asks what he sees. Sex. Shows another: Sex again. Doctor says Sir, you have a dirty mind. Addict says, What do you mean, doc, you're the one showing them!
V, I told you that it was a good shot (great shot)... glad that you trusted me, mon amie.
Bises,

Jack,
THat's great! DId you by chance see my post about the glacè ? :)
Genie,
I"m glad I listened to you!
A very beautiful scene through though the trees.
With the horizontal line of the buildings in the background, I think you were wise to shoot this photo as you did. But I do remember that you have a fondness for those vertical shots.
