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.

The Medici Fountain is one of my favourite places in Paris - where Italy meets France... But I prefer to lounge there without cigar ;-)
He looks so easygoing!
Interesting portrait!
Léia
Couldn't get much more relaxed than that V.
I'd have to stay out of his smoke radius, but it makes for a debonair photo, dear V!
Wonderful candid! Love it in B&W!
A good pic to use as poster for a Godard's movie!
What a great place to enjoy the day! This is truly a great candid shot.
I think this is one way TheChief would enjoy an afternoon in Paris!!!
Did he know you were taking his photo? He looks concerned.
He looks so totally relaxed. A true flaneur.
Almost makes me want to start smoking cigars
He certainly does look very much at home. (That was always one of my fave Paris meeting spots—maybe he's waiting for me to show up!)
He looks like absolutely nothing could 'wind him up'.. :) And a little like maybe he has the world at his feet..
I wish I had nothing to do sometime, but I wouldn't take up smoking for it.
What a portrait! This looks like a still from a 1940s movie. AND, yes, Virginia, it is a photo that should be rendered in black and white.
What a great period look -- the b/w is an outstanding choice. He looks ever so Parisian.
nice... great b/w picture
