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.

With pleasure :)
Despite the rain Paris is lovely!
As the character Gabrielle says in MIdnight in Paris: "Actually, Paris is most beautiful in the rain."
I'm with Mr Porter on this: I love Paris in the winter, when it ...
Embracing those moments of "unpleasant" weather in Paris and other places in France helps me to feel very connected. Perhaps because I slow my pace, have a coffee or cup of tea, and just enjoy the moment.... Yes, embrace it and enjoy!
Yes Virginia I thought I would embrace the rain in Paris. Maybe for a week or two....but not for 9 months!!!!!
Unfortunately, my lungs said "No!"
Never mind....short visits will have to do,
Ciao

I can't think of a nicer place to sit and listen to the rain... lovely pic!
