Today, Mary, Peter and I will join fellow blogger Owen at Père Lachaise for an afternoon of photography. The weather promises to cooperate!

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.

How wonderful to be spending a photo shoot in Père Lachaise ... Will look forward to some great pics Virginia.
"All Things French"
Interesting the way they placed photographs of the people who passed on their markers. I think it's a great idea. Future generations that may be interested in their ancestry would have a picture to associate with the name on the marker of the person who died.
So interesting a grave stone, Virginia, Have a wonderful day of photography!

One of my absolute dead fave places in Paris (to use an apropos expression). :~} I'm sure you'll have a great time together snapping away. Can't wait to see your photos, V --
Père Lachaise is da bomb, as the kids say. Give Oscar a kiss for me.
I have heard that Pere Lachaise is great, but I haven't been there. I look forward to seeing the images you collect.
