Mary and I were having a delightful time in a small park in Butte aux Cailles , getting to know a mom and her son, when I spotted these gentlemen having a nice time visiting with each other on this sunny day in Paris. These are the photographs that I really love capturing.

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 stollen moment. Precious!
Sur un banc, on est moins seul.
Is that someone sitting in the back of the car? Perhaps the are having a conversation about their next destination.
I enjoy looking at it. What a story it tells. The friendship shines through.
Wonderful capture of Pierre, Claude et Francois, V de B!
Delightful indeed!
Wonderful candid and I love it in B&W!
GREAT shot! I love the older men of Paris.
I hope you have a better picture of the wall in the background. It looks covered with great graffiti.
Chilling with your friends, in Paris—not a bad way to spend your retirement. Nice little moment you captured here, V.
Beautiful portrait. It's wonderful Paris, but could be anywhere, friends meeting and enjoying each other like that! :)
I agree with you. I like photos of groups of locals doing what they do.
It's these everyday captures that are so fabulous in B&W, lovely shot Virginia, I wonder what these three gentlemen were discussing!
Stealth street snapping .. well done
