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.

Wonderful lighting and capture, V. I love this little street just off Mouffetard. I wonder if they would have a little glass of wine for us. I think that I do see just one woman.
Looks like they are enjoying a beautiful sunny day. That is what I enjoyed about Paris, being able to stop at a cafe and enjoy the day just watching people. I really wish they had places here where we could do that. :)
Have a wonderful weekend, V!
Virginia, I love this photo and spent some time looking at the people ... then, I found myself fascinated by the lamps! Great B&W!!
This is great in b and w, V—and why don't we know how to live like that here, eh?
This is what a French cafe is all about! Wonderful shot, Madame V. -- Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Great image which captures the essence of French life - black and white is parfait. Bisous
Now, that would be an enjoyable group to join.
Interesting shot Virginia. It makes me smile because of the men sitting in the sun. If that was in Malaysia, they would all be camped out on the other side of the road in the shade!
Have a great weekend!
Courtesy of living where the sun is fierce, I'm sitting here hoping they've slopped {on sunblock} and are about to slap {on a hat}! But it's a wonderful sight and photo, dear V. Here's to relaxing times with good friends.
Beautiful monochromatic photo, Virginia.
Love this B&W street scene, how French can you get!
