In Paris, the cars and even the tables and chairs are a tight fit!

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.

Pas très glorieux tout ça...
Mais c'est Paris !
Belle journée,
Pierre
I believe that one of those chairs has my name on it. Ahhh, to return back to Paris.
I love this photo. What a fascinating cafe!
In Vienna I don´t like it when you sit so close to the cars and the tables are too closely aligned, but in Paris it´s just the way it has to be...
Who needs a private conversation when you are in Paris?
I love the line of those chairs. Beautiful.
Such a clever way of using distance and array style composition
Not usually enjoyed with car noise and the smell of a car exhaust pipe when having a bit of cafe au lait and good conversation, but by golly when I'm in Paris in October, I will turn the other cheek and smile. :-)
Judy Mac, oui, turn the other cheek my dear. When in Paris, one must do as the Parisians do!

Ah oui, when in Paris!! Love the composition if this shot Virginia, looks fantastic in B&W.
Love it! That's just how it is.
Oh how I wish I was there.. Beautiful!
Just enough room to squeeze in! I wish I was there. :)
It's nice to sit outside, even though you pay for the privilege.
I'd like to park myself there!
A little closeness makes it easier to eavesdrop!
Sometimes there's a lot to be said for a tight squeeze. Very intimate. Hard to stay strangers in a city like that one, i imagine. :)
Oh Lord! I don't think I would fit in there.
I'm very behind catching up with you! This is lovely -- really enjoy the b/w. Yes, those are a tight squeeze!
A tight fit, indeed. It makes for a gorgeous photo, Symmetry, rhythm, texture, patterns...Paris, how I love her!
So very Paris...but where are all the Parisians sitting and lingering over a cup of cafe or a glass of wine???
A day when there was a lot of space to sit down! Obviously a cold winter day ... and not even a smoker sitting there! :-)
