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 cute photos....Barb
Great new series of Strangers Sleeping! I feel like the guy with the wine, although I think I'll try to finish my wine before I fall asleep.
Where is that 1st photo???
xx,M
Ditto: Where is that 1st photo??
Wonderful photos! I really liked your Rue Mouffetard ones too.
There is an Antoine de Saint Exupery monument somewhere there? I wonder if there is a Little Prince monument as well?
Or, maybe the cigarettes got to his lungs? I've had to take up second hand smoking while in Europe! Great shots as usual!
I just found your blog and I am very pleased. I am French but have lived in the southern USA for years. Until my mom past away in 2002 I used to go to Paris 2 or 3 times a year to see her, but now I have not been back since 2006 and I miss it a lot. There are no French people around here to speak French, apart from the bakery and my husband never did master it. So, to look at your blog will be like being in my town again because of your beautiful photographs. Luckily I’m going there for a few days in Oct-Nov, but that will be too short. I’ll come back to look at more of your pics.
Oh, I know the feeling. I didn't see the Pantheon on my last trip but will be living just a block or two away in October. I have loved all of Antoine de St. Exupery's books since I discovered him in the early 80's. Wind, Sand, and Stars is my favorite.
Great photos.. I come every day for a preview of places to see and things to do.
I like to go from blogs to blogs to find new ones. I think this time I went on Original Art Studio and on the side of her blog, Paris caught my eye and I clicked on it. My husband and I were just marveling at your beautiful pictures. If you go to the categories on my blog, under France and under Paris, you will see I wrote posts on, for example Le Tour de France , http://avagabonde.blogspot.com/search/label/Tour%20de%20France, and other things. Merci de m’avoir rendu visite!
je dors, tu dors, il dort
Hooray for your luggage!
Wonderful pix .. the guy at the cafe table is brave .. here in NYC someone would have stolen his cigarettes...
Daryl...I bet that Virginia drank his wine!
Daryl and Mary,
HA!! I did down his vin and Peter smoked his cigs! :)
Nearly bedtime!
God, I love Paris. Just catching up today. Your shots make my heart break. Wish I could visit more often.
I absolutely love these images. Talk about natural. You've inspired me to sneak a few French people into my images.
