... I had spent about an hour and a half talking with the dancers at rue Mouffetard and sharing some photographs I have taken of them for the last 3 years. Genie, Holly, Mary and our sweet Paris friend Anne, then adjourned to a café across the street, and as we sat upstairs having lunch, I took a peek out of the window and decided to try a long shot through the glass. I love the movement and seeing it all from a new perspective.

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.

Cezar
I love this shot!
What a spectacular shot!
I can't wait to hear thier reaction to your photos.
What a treasure!
Fabulous shot, love the energy. I think it's a very strange feeling when you come home from a holiday, for a while you always think 'well at this time last week I was..' I do see you dancing pal Virginia, is he wearing a checked hat this time ?
Molto interessante!
La joie de vivre capturée...
gros bisous
What a great dynamic! I can hear a music. Did you dance too? Moments like this are precious. Robert Doisneau would be proud.
Only the crazy Parisians would be dancing outside in the dead of winter.
You have captured a scene that looks like it is from a bygone age, especially showing it in B&W...I love the energy and feeling in this picture.
What was that old song... Dancing in the Street ? Done by all sorts of folks from Marvin Gaye to Jagger and Bowie... Hope you had a good trip back, and I'm sure Meeps was happy to see you...
Beautifully captured, V! The eye goes right to your old friend and his oh-so-Parisienne dance partner.
Was that only last week? It seems now so long ago... must go back soon! That was a fabulous day, V!
Bises,

Grace, My grandmother and my mother always were saying, "This time this week or this time next week" when I was growing up so it comes naturally! Now it seems so long ago but thankfully I have many images to bring back the moments.
Alexa,
Yes, he's one that is so colorful, my camera is drawn every trip.
Starman, not so cold. We were very lucky this trip. It was sunny and crisp and I only felt the bite of the cold late in the afternoon or evening. This was a perfect day for dancing!
Now this is the way to celebrate a Sunday!!!
Tremendous movement and expression. Great shot.
I feel the music, I want to dance with them .. maybe someday
HI Virginia, I just had to tell you how spectacular this photo is and how i ADORE it!!! Worth getting up from the table.. Ha Ha.. Great to see you in Paris in sparkling form.. CAn't wait to see more of your Paris pics.. Carla
I love that woman in the sunglasses and her partner and their placement in this shot. Lovely!
