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.

Love Canal st Martin. The Canal boat cruise is one of my favorite things to do in Paris (on a sunny day, bien sûr) -- Lovely shot. Beautiful light. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Wonderful, V! You were close enough to see his sketch and it looks as if he did not even mind. You captured his intense focus and steady hand.
He looks very cool! And I see it's true, spots and polka dots really are 'in' at the moment.
A wonderful portrait of that artist and his sketch! We had a blind painting friend over for dinner last night - she's our adopted "Auntie Annie!"
Oh, to see that Paris still attracts artists and lovers!!!!! Anita
How did people ever do any drawing in the good ol' days without an iPod?
Great shot...the number of artists in Paree amazes me.
He looks very inspired for the wonderful view!
Adorable portrait!
Léia
I like to see them working. It's so impressive!
I know someone who would kill for that dotted tee ...
Artist will always be drawn to Paris for inspiration I think, from the little peek of this artists work when you pull the image right in, Paris is working it's magic. You've captured him well Virginia.
For some reason, so many of your photos bring memories to me! :-)
He looks like he's wearing his pajama top.
You know how much I love your portraits, V! There's just something special that you're able to capture. Brava once again.
This is close to where I live! I should go find this guy and ask him to give me a discount because I know you...
Paul, Well you just go and try and let me know how that works for you! HA
Peter, You know why.......you're always right there waiting for me to take "just one more shot, Peter!"
Carlo, Welcome and thank you.
Alexa, I love portraits more and more.
Good place for a stroll on a nice day... have you ever stopped in the Hotel du Nord along the canal for a drink ? They were doing concerts for a while, some excellent talent performed there from time to time, people like Bruce Cockburn or Loudon Wainwright, and other well known musicians... another Paris treasure...
So cool!
