If I had to guess, I'd think this was a family visiting Paris. Dad was very focused on capturing his adorable family of four on the Buren columns. I didn't blame him a bit. In fact, I hung back and got a lot of shots myself. Their faces here show that they had grown a bit weary of the photo shoot. I can relate to that.

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.

I found the Van Buren "columns" boring.
Superbe photo... Génial souvenir.
Gros bisous
Love it in B&W! And the rainy sheen on the pavement adds looks wonderful!
Traveling Paris with four kids? He gets my vote for brave!
That's the only good use for those damned Buren columns: game aera for kids!Were they playing "à Chat perché?.." :o)
Perfect photo op—both Dad . . . and you!
Malyss and Star Man, as a photographer I have been fascinated with the possibilities for years. The first 3 or so visits they were closed off for renovation work. The took down the barriers the day we arrived in Jan. 2010 when it snowed. I lost my mind!!!
Ha! This is very funny. I can just imagine Clark Griswold lining the family up as the family members yawn and lose their attention.
I love this spot and the striped drums especially in the rain. Pappa may have to accept that when children don't want to be photographed it is time to point the camera in another direction.
