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.

Wonderful night shot... beautiful place !
Magical, V!
Hello Virginia! Here is your French exercise for today: ce week end, je suis allée à Paris et j'ai mangé une crèpe au Nutella Boulevard Saint Germain en pensant à toi. Bises!
Great reflections, Virginia, and you already know about my love affair with La Tour Eiffel. Was this en juin? Perhaps the night you and Mary had to walk home?
Bises,
Genie
Pure Paris --- love the golde reflection in the rippling water.
Genie,
Non, this was a lovely evening in July of last year! In June, when Mary and I had our little adventure, I was too tired for photographs!
V
Alice: D'accord! "Last weekend went to Paris and had a Nutella crepe on the Blvd. Saint Germain and thought of you! " AND i did that all by myself with no help from Google Translator. C'est bon!
Thank you Wong and Shell!
I am SO looking forward to getting to Paris and seeing/snapping shots like this myself
Bravo!
Je comprends que vous aimiez Paris! Cette photo donne envie d'y aller ! J'aime la Tour Eiffel le jour et la nuit!
Isn't this just Paris!
Wonderful! I want to be there!
More than special, V. Dieu bénisse les Parisiens and their magical way with light! Nicely done, too—you're like a human tripod. :~}
Love!
Love!!
Love!!!
La Tour Eiffel reflected in the Seine, just marvelous.
Very nice. That's the d'Orsay, right?
Paul, Oui, c'est Orsay.
Claudine,
J'adore la Tour le jour et la nuit aussi. Elle est très magnifique! :)
Hieno kuva. Pidän öisestä kaupungista, valon heijastuksista vedessä. Syysterveiset Suomesta. Markku
Vraiment magnifique.
Je suis jalouse!
These last 3 posts are wonderful. You know how to make a girl want to be in Paris!
Harriet,
Actually, I know how to make THIS girl want to be in Paris. Another Paris moment I won't forget.
V
Certainement spéciale, mon amis!!!
(Don't get excited...Google translator does it again!!!)
Beautiful evening shot. I was in Savannah and tried to take pictures of the river in the evening – not easy… Les reflets de la lumière sur l’eau sont très jolis.
Vagabonde.
Merci. Night shots are so hard but in Paris worth the effort. Merci pour vos commentaires en françcais. Je suis d' apprentissage.
V
Chieftess,
I sleep with Google Translator! :)
I'm sorry to hear that Virginia...we need to get you out more!!!
I'm trying to be calm and not get too excited about my Paris trip but it's hard when I see photos like this. :)
