I'm pretty good at photographing Parisians on the sly, but Monsieur looked up just as I was taking this shot! I'm afraid I interrupted their afternoon chocolat chaud! Galerie Vivienne, if memory serves.

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.

That's why I never dare picturing people !
OMG, this place is looking soooooo attractive!
Monsieur is a Frenchman, and as such, caught a glimpse of a lovely blonde snapping away outside the window... :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Chocolat Chaud in Paris would taste different than anywhere else in the world.
I'm sure he took one look at your charming smile and friendly wave and was glad of the experience, dear V.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier - I Spy an exchange of secrets over chocolat
he was likely with his mistress
What a charming couple and I am sure Monsieur did not mind at all.
This reminds me of when I was caught by a rather stern Madame sketching in front of a hat boutique in the 6th...it's part of my post on June 3rd: "Wandering the Saint Sulpice Neighborhood". Your image & text is bringing back the Paris Dream...Merci!
Boy, I would sure enjoy a cup of chocolat chaud and one of those delicious looking pastries! I'm sure Monsieur didn't mind the photo, he was probably just surprised to see to taking their photo. :)
Yikes—I'd probably gain a few pounds by osmosis just being in the vicinity of all that good stuff! Hope Monsieur was flattered.
He was probably wondering why you were taking photos instead sitting inside drinking chocolat chaud.
I love the picture...real people going about their daily lives. These are the pictures of Paris I enjoy so much!
This picture so inspires me to visit Paris soon:)
I love photographing people but I hate getting caught. You did a good job at sticking to your guns and getting the shot. I usually try to play it off like I'm taking a picture of something else. :)
Your memory seems to be in very good shape! :-)
