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.

What a beautiful photo. I love the arcade and the sun in the back
Ah, yes, I wish that I was walking here right now. This familiar sight just makes me smile.
Beautiful shot. As always. This one is extra special. :)
Cool shot! I usually see people sleeping in this walkway at night.
Beautiful light and even has a hint of your trademark red! Wonderful. Have a lovely weekend. Fx
This is great, V!
AS YES. This is the kind of post so perfect for the party! KEEP GOING VIRGINIE! Anita
After reading your last post I had a knot in my throat. You see I went on the roof of the Samaritaine to take as many pictures I could of Paris – with my film camera – that was a while back. My mom was in a retirement home outside of Paris with Parkinson’s disease and her walls were all blank. I had the photos developed, large size, and pinned them on her walls so she could still see Paris from her bed. She was so happy. I took them off after she passed away in 2002.
Yeeeeesssss. This is a winner, Virginia. Love it!
Love this! What a view!
Une belle enfilade d'arcades, un très beau point de vue ! J'aime beaucoup

Looking at gorgeous images of Paris and listening to that fab music, if I can't be there, then this certainly goes a long way to compensate. Thanks Virginia.
