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.

Interesting to contemplate why so many choose the cross to decorate their gravesites! Quite a display.
Apt photo for Good Friday.
Beautiful choice for today, dear V.
I must agree, this is a great photo for today. Quite sombre. I like that it is in black and white too
Agreed—perfect choice for today. And I love it in b&w.
So many details to look at in this beautiful shot. Thanks Virginia!
Solemn, thoughtful choice for this day. Sometimes I think that Paris has more crosses than Rome and almost sure that there are more angels.
You do have a photographer's eye -- great composition.
There doesn't seem to be enough room to fit mine in there.
love your photos
Ah, les cimetières de Paris... des sujets à l'infini
Nice choice for Good Friday. I didn't find something I liked, so I am secular today. Isn't it interesting that all of these crosses are different?
