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.

Love the shot. It reminds me of the Robert Doisneau photos.
We'll do our best to remind you!
Beautiful photo. I'll meet you right here V, and I'll happily bring the champagne!
Fine monochrome image, Virginia!
Rive gauche?
Love this angle .. and the monochrome suits it perfectly
I'll go halvsies with you. BTW-my neighborhood bakery just started making macarons - heaven, I'm in heaven! http://friedasdesserts.com/
We went to a picnic on the Seine a couple of years ago. It was in June and it was cold. I wore a leather jacket.
Can you travel between May and July?
Starman,
Have toothbrush will travel! :) And the weather in Paris is a constant mystery to me. In June last year the Parisians all had on jackets, not summer but winter. We were in tee shirts. It was cold then hot as hades.
Louis,
Rive gauche? Certainement! :)
Mary,
Are they even halfway good?
Mary and Katie,
Well we'll need more than one bottle, oui??
Shell,
merci
Debs,
Oh I am very very very flattered!!
Daryl,
you know my monochromes are often just marginal!
Beautiful photo.

Great shot, V! I had many pique-niques here back in the day, and will gladly contribute a bottle of bubbly to yours. Was in Paris one summer—and it was about 40°F on the 4th of July.
Yes, exactly what Debs said. It reminds me of a Robert Doiseneau photo. One in particular that is hanging in my bedroom!
