I read on my phone all the time—except it looks to me like she's texting avec ses petits pouces. Still makes a nice counterpoint to all that lovely red though. :~} (I posted a Paris Rouge picture today too—sort of—and you were with me when I took it.)
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

Great composition... she seems to be literally and figuratively in a dark space disconnected from the bright red reality of the world.
We are posting to the same tune today V. I posted a bookshop which fell victim to the digital age. No Paris Rouge in mine though.
sadly, sadly, that is so true. ..the world over and not just in paris….what have we become????
A sad commentary but a glorious photo!
Love her great sense of style with the construction boots, beautiful white bag, highlighted hair. Balanced in a very chic way...
Terrific shot! Looks damp away from the terraces...
They might still be reading books or newspapers though -- just on their phone. Great light and color.
That is sad indeed! Who wants to look at a boring screen with magnificent Paris to be savored? Yeesh! Gorgeous red, btw. Passionate, wonderful red!

Isn't that the truth. But, since I spend a lot of time on my own phone, I guess I can't complain.
Pretty picture!
