The day we all visited Saint - Denis, I spotted this photographer with his sights set on something very HIGH. We were a little pressed for time, or I would have walked right up and found out. I might have gotten to look through his lens. You know how I love a stranger!

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.

Don't know what is more impressive, the door or his photography gear...
God bless you!

Love the balance of light shade and texture in your image Virgina.
Warm wishes.
The door is so impressive, and the light o it fabulous. I'm sure that guy makes great pictures, but Ho! how heavy must be all those things to carry!
Salut tout le monde,
It appears that the photographer is about to be attacked by a shady character from behind….his shadow!
Like the juxtaposition of centuries old door and ultra modern photography gear. Truly very impressive and expressive.
Great shot. One curious photographer taking in the curiosity of another.
That's quite a set up, I would have just hand held the camera and looked up... more than one way to skin a cat, I guess... though I never could figure out why anyone would want to skin a cat !
Yes, we know
it must be the alabama heritage !
bon dimanche
yes I wonder what he was photographing - he looks most intent...
Une superbe photo... A chacun son imagination... peut-être que...
tant de choses possibles n'est-ce pas...
gros bisous
Lovely composition,and what an amazing door,it probably looks more interesting now than when new!
Bon dimanche,
Ruby
Owen, of course you know I shun the tripod at all costs!
I agree many of you that the light and shadows are probably what made this shot for me as well!

He does look a little like he's about to be mugged by his shadow haha! Excellent shot Virginia, always good to get a shot of a 'fellow man at work'!!
