I have to wonder how long it's taken to get to the bare wood. Perhaps he's been working nuit et jour!

About Me

- Birmingham, AL, United States
- I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

A long way ...
Les cordonniers sont les plus mal chaussés et les peintres toujours habillés en blanc.
Reminds me of renovating my first house which I independently bought when I was 23. I was keen, energetic and cash challenged so I renovated the house myself ........with occasional help from a registered plumber and electrician. Stripping paint is not a pleasant job and, not only were the multiple layers of old paint being tenacious, they also contained led.
Warm wishes.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Layers of history, layers of conversations and intriguing liaisons, peut-être?

I think Francois has been working very hard and still has a long way to go! Bonne chance, Francois!
Alain,
Il est vrai! LOL
Leif - H AAAAAAA
Elizabeth, you were a brave girl to tackle all that!
Anita, we can only imagine!
Wong.......yes!!!!
I would hate to be doing that job, he needs a blow torch to melt it off.
The last post with the gorgeous scarf, I walked those streets and I think took a photo of most shop windows. They were displayed in such style. Only Paris seems to have that talent.

"Day and Night", they are working very hard!
Wonderful capture!

Old, bare wood can be so beautiful! I wonder how he is going to refinish it.
He's even got an anti-plumber cleavage device!
Yes, Virginia, this is another job I do not want.
