When I snapped this shot, I was was focusing on life in a Paris garden. I loved the light and the fall leaves. When I downloaded the photograph, I realized that almost all of them were connected to their phones. Quel dommage.

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.

C'est vrai, il y a une jolie lumière. Mais que faisaient donc les gens dans les squares parisiens avant Internet ? Peut-être regardaient-ils simplement autour d'eux.
Oui, la vie est dur ici.
A lovely scene. Technology rules!

It is the age of the remote society V.
It is the age of the hand-held toy, and how sad it is. I believe part of the problem is giving up the land line, which causes people to be constantly looking at their phone to see if any of their fans have called. :-)
It seems like you can't go anywhere without seeing it. Me? I have a stupid phone -- it only goes in the car when I travel or am out late by myself. And I love that.
A beautiful scene, even if the people can't quite appreciate it!
And look what they're missing. Fools!
