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.

The latter, I suspect. :) Not that I'm an expert on body language. {Or any language other than English, and some days, even that's questionable.}
Looks impatient to me......!!!!
I just have to tell you, Virginia, I am reading Les Miserables for the very first time. Have you had the honor of reading it? If not, you should. It's wonderful!! I am loving it. I am killing myself, wanting to go to Paris so bad. What a story Victor Hugo has written. You must experience it!
Ritratto ambientato molto bello.
Mauro
Great colors.
Fantastic pop of color! It's practically monochromatic, but then the purple bisecting the sepia/B&W is fabulous.
Not happily waiting but at least he seems comfortable in the couch...
God bless you!
Cezar
Love the colour of these sofas!!
Oh I so want to see Paris!!!
Pamela :)
Quite impatiently I presume!!!
Poor guy looks like he's going to cry at any moment.
I am 600 pages in the novel LES MISERABLES by Victor Hugo. Virginia, have you experienced this book? It's wonderful. I love the chapters on Parisian history, and the story of Cosette, and Jean V.
Let me know if you've read it,and if you haven't, you must. It's like experiencing Paris , the story is so vivid,and engaging. I recommend it to everyone on here.
Virginia,
I have to say i am 600 pages into the novel LES MISERABLES by Victor Hugo. I must know if you've experienced this book or not. Let me know. :-)
I don't understand how you can be in Paris and have that look on your face. You know what I mean, right, V?
I also like what is happening in the background. Tourist having just arrived..luggage in tow and studying the map..how many times have we seen that? Great shot.
Okay..the eyes go first. Maybe he is taking a photo :)
Inscrutably, probably
He looks a little bored... I love the colour of the sofa!
You should send this to Andrew Sullivan, the blogger on The Daily Dish. Every day or so, he features a View From Your Window, and each Saturday, he has a VFYW contest, in which folks have to guess where the window is. It's staggering how many entrants he has each week -- and they ALWAYS manage to guess the location, no matter how obscure.
Ooops! I meant the picture of St. Roch from your window. My bad.
I wish I had those couches!! He looks, if nothing else, a bit constipated!! But I doubt it!! I like this photo; it keeps you guessing :D
