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.

I like the quiet atmosphere in this photo.
I can understand why this is a favorite...
Virginia, I have two reasons why I love this photo...
The first is that it is simply gorgeous.
And the second is that Margarita was my beautiful mother's name...
Thank you for this beauty...
Love and light,
- Irina
A great composition with use of lines and shapes
Beautiful - simply beautiful F xx
Lovely balance, simplicity, color and balance. Very French! Thanks for the redux.
I love the flowers AND the curtains!
I have alway been intrigued by the French lace in the windows and how it often casts an interesting and welcoming shadow. This is such a nice shot with the yellow flowers to the right to counter-balance the larger window on the left
Simple elegance!
Thanks for sharing...

Fleurs are always nice.
