Les Puces de Saint-Ouen, was visual overload for me. I found too many choices to peruse and to photograph. I loves this old valise and the tango music in this stall.
This makes me want to pack my backs and head to the airport.
The cool cloudy weather here in Grapevine, Texas reminded me of Paris. So I'm here for a little taste. Unfortunately your music player isn't working. :-( Nice to see your photos though.
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.

Very evocative of Paris
Love it in B&W!
Sometimes amongst all of that disarray is a treasure to be found!
I wonder how many people have a player that will accommodate those 45s?

Tangos -
What a treasure trove! And perfect for black and white.*
A trip back in time! Love the Tango music! :)
