Le Vieux Bateau
La Corde á Linge
What a beautiful little town on the Seine this was in the French countryside. Today a sampling, but I have more to share.

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.

Charming place, and especially charming photos!
One of the things I love about Europe is seeing clothes on the line. People just don't believe in dryers over here!
I just discovered your post on portraits. Great! And Peter seems to be waiting but so gracefully...
Both are great photos but I especially love the first one. The old boat, the numbers on the tilted board, and everything else just come together for perfection.
Oh these are so good .. nice peek into the day to day .. and the header photo reminds me of the odd street art I photographed down in Meatpacking District ...love it!
How perfect -- the old boat with the green and the pink and the ducks...
PJ sez AL is home of the Original Mardi Gras. What does she mean, I wonder.
Oh, Virginia, that first photo is sublime! If I were an artist, this is something that I would want to paint.
AH,
PJ is correct. It was the first city to host a Mardi Gras parade, even before New Orleans!

Maya,
We did our fair share of clothes drying the old fashioned way in Paris and the countryside. They are a little stiff but smell so good when hung outside.
I like the boat. It appears to be metallic. Do you get close enough to notice?
Love your Paris images. We too lost our heads and hearts in Paris and look forward to a return trip. You captured some wonderful scenes and I know how hard it must be to sit in Birmingham and dream of Paree. Your people and places shots are terrific. (The haircut we both commented on would go along great with the wonderful tattooed young lady you posted earlier.)
I love these...some of my favorites!
