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.

"Just" another beautiful detail in Paris! Lovely.
Talk about a life of hard knocks...
That's some knocker.
Don't knock it.
Oooohh la la ..
Looks like this knocker has been around a while...beautiful.
Hi Virginia, that is truly a beautiful bit of metalwork there, very nice find... and it looks like the wood has been patched under where the knocker would hit... Grain in the wood is gorgeous also... I wonder how old it is ?
Any travel plans on the horizon ?
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Alexa.
Alexa who?
Alexa know if I ever find a knocker more beautiful than this one!
:~}
Alexa,
You Win!!!
Owen,
Sharp eyes. I didn't see that ! Oui, peut-être en février?
I have my fingers crossed and will of course want to see you again and take some photos together? :)
V
Pardon!
I didn't mean to exclude my other clever readers. I love it when you chime in. I will have another contest to test your wits very soon!
Bonjour, Virginia! I love the hardware on this door. Great capture. I will be home soon and we can talk again!
Bises,
Genie
Love this!!! Especially the placement of the knocker at the bottom of the photo...nicely composed V!!!
Oh...BTW...I think the piece under the knocker might be metal...to facilitate the knock!!!
I didn't notice either. Sharp eyes has the talented Owen. Lovely shot of a beautiful thing.
That's a real beauty, and your photography is wonderful!
Glad to know I am not the only one who loves photographs of details. This one is lovely, as are all the shots on your blog. Well done!
