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.

Beautiful architecture, beautiful iron work, beautiful photo! The wavy reflections show the composition of the old glass panes.

So beautiful, I wish it was mine:)
Berit.
And it's beauty—nice choice, V!
Mine was next door then!
Love the colors. The roses stand out really well between the backdrop of the stone and iron.
And I was on the other side!
I hope the people of Paris wake up each day with eyes to see all of the wonderful architecture which surrounds them.
And you caught kisses on the air from a lover down below....

Tres Parisienne! Beautiful architectural shot. Love the windows.
I've always admired houses/apartments with balconies. They are so romantic!!!
"Balcon" is a masculine noun, dear Virginia, I let you guess what I mean... Do I irritate you when I point these sorts of things to you?
Alice,
HA! I was just mixing my anglais and my français as I ususally do and didn't give a thought to the M/F thing. Of course we both know I can goof it up when I really try to do it right. Non, it does not bother me. I learn!
Ahhh ... its lovely ..
THank you all for your comments. I'm presently training with the Apple Store. I won't have much time for comments but believe me I'm a happy camper!!
It's SOOO lovely!
