My friend Mary Gilbert and I have travelled together to Paris many times. Lately she's been sneaking off without me. She has a point and shoot camera that she's been taking the last year or so, and I have asked her to share some of her terrific photos with you from time to time. Today a great example of knowing what to leave OUT of a shot. I asked her for the wide angle then the photo she masterfully framed. Bravo Mar!!!

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.

Hi Virginia,
It must be great to visit Paris often. Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Une belle promenade remplie de couleurs... Monsieur a l'air charmé !... belles photos
Gros bisous
It's a lovely and colorful picture.
Greetings, Joop
Fabulous colour and framing.
Love the colors!
Ah,Parisian women and their handbags... A love story, assuredly. Writing a story about that right this minute in fact. Bravo Mary! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
I'm soooo flattered to be featured today. Virginia and my other photobug amies (you know who you are) have taught me so much about composition and capturing the moment.
FYI-the market opens Saturdays (10a) on Boul Richard Lenior north of Place de la Bastille: http://www.artistesparisbastille.fr/
There is a similar market at the foot of Tour Montparnasse (Boul Edgar Quinet) on Sundays:

I like the 'close up', but I like the long shot also.
Lovely work, Mary! I like the street shot as well for the atmosphere. Seeing both is nice for context ~ thanks, V!
Fabulous colors!!
