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.

There's always something fascinating about old teaboxes but these are particularly beautiful.
Hmm, I bet I like the boxes better than the tea, and this photo of them best of all!
Familiar Chinese tea pots !
Nice photo.
The colorful boxes, the way they're displayed, the reflection—there's nothing I don't like about this photo!
This took me back to moving home several decades ago, when dad procured a number of tea chests to use for the packing process. They weren't pretty like these ones, but I do remember how fine and solid they were. I'm guessing the removalists still do, too!
Interesting and beautiful picture!
Have a nice Sunday - Karl
Nice. And it looks fashionably French!
A thé shop selling all sorts of thé apparati opened on Broadway near me and I am thrilled
Very lovely title "One cap of tea enough for both of us".
You have taken this shoot at one of the my favorite places in Paris. Place des Vosges in tranquility, in peace with flowers and trees with little noble shops.
A nice scene of metal tea boxes fully filled with the tea of India, Formosa Island passing through canal of Suez for arriving to Paris.
Who knows, there is how many memories are inside of these boxes.
