As a teacher, I am drawn to the Parisians who read in Paris.. the parks, the Mètro, cafés. I hope cell phones don't replace this.

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 agree with you.
It is nice that paper books are still in use.
Nice images and nice graphic design are still important, reading books the ordinary way or using the i-pad.
I never go anywhere in Paris without a book. You never know when the perfect spot for reading or just thinking will appear !
A much better activity than texting or otherwise using the phone.
Moi aussi! And, yes, here's hoping, V.
I'm always toting a camera but wish I had to sit and read!
