As we sat waiting in Charles de Gaulle Airport in 2008, I was mesmerized by this woman with her small boy. It was a long wait for such a small child, but he was delightful. I did that, "Should I ask to take his photo?" in my head for probably an hour. Finally, I just took my camera and held it up. She nodded. He was delighted to see his image in my screen. I'm glad I asked.

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.

Wow V! What a capture. The vibrancy in their smiles and eyes shines through the wonderful colours. How nice of them to let you take their photo. A magical moment. Cover material. Cheers J.
I'm glad you did, too, Virginia. This is fabulous!
Ce qui est dommage, c'est de ne pas pouvoir partager la photo avec la personne photographiée.
Et moi aussi! Great portrait of two lovely smiles!
Lovely!
He is adorable. I love the framing of this shot.
Wow, nice portrait!
And I love your continually updating set of header photos!

No wonder you were captivated.
Alain,
She spoke no English ( or French for that matter) so it was not possible to get an address etc. I regret that as well.
V
superbe photo!
cath.
And I'm glad you asked too—what a gorgeous portrait, V! (He looks just like the beautiful Ethiopian child a friend of mine adopted.)
Virginia, you nailed it with this one. Marvelous portrait. I am going to copy it and tell people I did it. OK?
She looks a bit long-in-the-tooth for that to be her child. Grandmother perhaps?
Virginia,
What a marvelous photo! I love the color the lady is wearing and the little guy is adorable. How nice that she let you snap a photo! :)
I LOVE this Virginia, thanks x
