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.

Perfectly timed Virginia and looking very brisk too.
Great photo!
If you have a CHASE credit card, you might want to call and ask them to stop their ads promoting "love padlocks" on bridges. Ad spotted in Bon Appetit p29 for bridges in Italy, but we know that Paris bridges are being jeopardized by the weight of the locks.
V, I hope you are OK with me sounding this alarm through your blog.
Wonderful composition, V!
They are quite graceful!
The film Day for Night came to mind for some reason, two people passing in different directions, both going to the place the other had been. It's another timeless classic. Could only be monochrome.
