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.

What a nice photo, it has a timeless quality to it.
So Parisien! I love it. Time for lunch!
Love this shot with reflections from a mirror - no one has a clue they are being photographed - just perfectly natural.
Nicely done, Virginia. Showing it in black and white makes it timeless.
Reminds me "Robert Doisneau"inspiration, your picture is brilliant!Congratulations!

Bien fait! I just got back last night (less than 12 hours ago) and am slowly decompressing... I had lunch at Cafe Nemours near the Palais Royal, is this the same place? We were outside...
I love these shots that look like they might have been taken in the 30's, 40's etc etc
I am on my way to Paris ! houray !!
You caught Jacques doing what he does best! I love looking at your Paris blog every morning - a great way to start my day with a little dream of our next trip to Paris!
Merci mille fois, V!
Wow, what a blog! I mean, you just have so many guts to go ahead and tell it like it is. You’re what blogging needs, an open minded superhero that isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. This is definitely something people need to be up on. Good luck in the future, man.
Nicely done Ms. V!!! Love it in B&W for all the same reasons!!!
Ah! I recognise this waiter! He served me a few weeks ago. God, this makes me miss Paris.
Love this .. the mood the light the monochrome .. c'est magnifique
I took shots of this same waiter in March! Love the way you caught his reflection twice. The whole composition is tres bien fait!
You're so quick on the draw!!
The reflection is so clear, it's like looking through a window.
how fun that some of you recognized this waiter. I spotted one that was behind the bar that day but had served us champagne in '09!!!
