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.

Gorgeous, dear V ~ the shadows are especially well set off by the black and white.
Ancora un delizioso angolo di Parigi.
Ottimo B&W!
Ciao
Mauro
A lovely photo, V de B but couldn't you have zoomed in on that HOT magazine a little more?!
Bon samedi!
Love it in B&W --- and you are so right .... that is so very Paris!
You could find such kiosques in other french towns. They begin to disappear, but there are still some of them, offering us their old fashion charm.
Bien sûr!!!!! Anita
Beautiful light and so perfectly captured on lens.
Thanks

No doubt. We are in Paris on a cold, but sunny winter day... Well done Madame Virginia! -- Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Classic Paris Virginia, and perfect in B&W. I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
That is where I would love to buy my newspaper.
Have a beautiful weekend Virginia.
Costas
Ah oui—absolument! And just right in black & white.
Actually, so very Europe. There are in just about every country, in one form or another.
The thing about Tchad got me really curious!
God bless you!
Cezar
My word you make me miss Paris.
Have a nice weekend.

So very lovely Virginia... xv
wonderful picture !
Bonjour chère amie! Merci pour ta visite! Anita
Hot !
Great subject and I love the light and contrast. It is a pity that Melbourne didn't preserve some of its architectural treasures from the 19th and 20th centuries. There was a part of Melbourne called “the Paris end” which was destroyed in order to build soulless, multi-storey office blocks that prevent the sun from reaching the pavement. The plane trees that line the streets are struggling to survive and the French styled news stands and lovely cast iron toilette blocks (lovely in their external appearance but probably not to use) have also
vanished. So sad.
