You must be getting so excited! I cannot wait to see your photos and hear all about what you're doing on your trip. Wow, your 2 months will be incredible!
Looking forward to your return photos. I am envious, I'd like to return to the ramparts of Notre Dame and reshoot the gargoyles. Say, maybe you could do that for me... ;)
As I write this, you are in the air headed east over the waters. In just a few hours you will be passing through customs with your feet on the French ground. Don't kiss it or anything, but just know how excited we all are for you and that there are probably many of us that will pause in our days while you are there to think, "I wonder what V is doing right now?" Well, Ms. V, happy adventuring and take good care of yourself. Please give my best regards and big hugs to any and all City Daily Photo folks you may run into during your sojourn. I hope you get to meet a lot of them and share a laugh and a moment in your favorite place. -Kim
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.
