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 cool for your series!!
I love the pops of red in the background of this image.
Beautiful! Have a great weekend V. :)
V, on David's first trip in March we did almost get run over, but the place was crawling with tourists. Love the rainy days in Paris....
Vous êtes ourageuse! Mais ça vaut la peine for a great photo!
oops...Courageuse...
I am not going to rate it as either brave or foolish. (I would have done the same.) But, it was well worth the risk. The little spots of red make the photo. You HAD to keep the image in color.
I really love this photo. Thanks for risking life and limb to take it!
I'm there with you Virginia, with all those fools.
Haha. I have a fab picture taken at night as I stopped to take a photo. You can clearly see the headlights of the car that would have hit me if hubby hadn't grabbed me! xxxx
Who you callin a fool? Hahahaha
I'll have to remember not to be a fool when i visit there for the first time! I'll remember your wise warning, V. Beautiful photo. I love the pop of a vivid RED. It's a 'power color' that's for sure..
Not only...! :-)
Ah but in paris everyone is a fool :)
I love the view
