I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

Hahah what interesting tights!
I wish dancing was only about the footwork but something tells me it is about much more. Rythm would help me I'm sure.
Unique! All the more to catch the eye as she danced, I'm sure!
M is right I suspect
Quand même...ce n'est pas mon style! :)

Interesting looking tights, I don't believe I've ever seen any quite like those. :)
Ah! I must get me a pair of them socks!! Only in Paris.
Woohoo! :) Very cool tights.
She obviously has the moves—and the legs to pull off those tights. This is a great shot, V!
I like this one, Virginia. The block of bright blue make it for me, even more than the cool tights.
