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.

Very lovely silhouettes against the sunset, thankyou. I've been reading Vicki Archer's book 'My French Life' this afternoon and I'm pining.
Magnifique!
Pure romance.
And my WV (no fooling!) Skiesses
Beautiful!
love sunsets....Barb
I absolutely love all of your Paris photos, V! They make me nostalgic (which is kinda crazy 'cause we were there only one time)... but I sure appreciate the great photographic work you've done!
Merci beaucoup! (That's about all the French I know!)
Jacob,
Don't apologize for your français. I've found that "Bonjour" and "Merci beaucoup" will take you very very far in France. The best two phrases you can learn. I"ve found the French to be so very helpful and appreciative when I've used them and believe me, I"ve used those two, a zillion times!!! Did I mention with a French drawl, as Altadenahiker calls it??? HA
Merci mes amis pour votre comments! Posting these photos everyday has made me realize just how much I miss Paris. I am looking forward to my return.
Hi, Virginia!
I have been a bit lax in following your blog since I am now in the US. I plan to be in Seattle early July, and will resume, I hope, checking blogs. I still drool over your Paris photos....
So lovely
Wow in any language. Incredible colours. Nature's artist ran riot with the paintbox here. I agree about the language. If you at least make an effort people are so helpful.
