Monsieur was taking a smoke break and we spotted each other at the same time. He seemed happy enough to have his picture taken. "Merci!"

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.

Secret agent !
He was probably contemplating the beautiful photographer!
Love this angle and the shadow on the building. Back in the day, when I smoked, I would have given anything for a view like this while enjoying a smoke. :)
The light almost looks like smoke.
he was thinking : " Oh my, a war eagle all the way over here !! "
Pimpin cigar!
He probably dreamed about you that night! Ah... French men... so romantique!
Dawne, I doubt any man in Paris has dreamed of me but you're a dear to say so! Thanks for your visit!

That is happy, eh? The man has a limited range of expression.
Better out on the balcony than indoors I say Virginia..That's the one and only downside to Paris, the smoking everywhere and yet without it I often wonder if something quintessential to the Paris experience might be missing, crazy hey!
Good morning! I love French windows. What IS it about them? So special.
