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.

And a gorgeous choice, Virginia! I love the movement of the young lady ~ and her outfit!!
the movement makes the pic alive somehow
Yes, this young lady adds a definite je ne sais quoi to the picture—don't know how much time you had to think about this shot, but I love the way you composed it with everything else so perfectly and somberly aligned.
Very nice. I like the sepia and the girl with the sense of movement.
I disagree with Mr. Maugham's philosophy. Even if one has unlimited money, excellent health and all the time in the world, there is no way one can see everything one wants to see. So one should see as much as possible every time one gets the chance.
My sentiment's exactly, Starman!!!
Boohooohooohooo!
«Louis» wants to go back to Paris so badly!
See...perfect again. I have learned to keep everything because I believe you can find beauty in any image. I love the fact that she is in motion in this type of atmosphere.. Wonderful!
