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.

Nothing better than an obliging - cute french waiter! x
Lovely eyes ~ I think he enjoyed your attention, V!
I am sure that he was fascinated by you girls... il est beau gosse!
That was a wonderful lunch with great friends!
fun time ...
Hmmm...you certainly do have a knack for finding and photographing attractive young men!!!
What The Chieftess said! And I'll bet sure you foster friendliness in others by being your own sweet Southern self.
I agree with everyone who has commented before me.
Nice to see that you have realised that there are freindly people in Paris, including waiters! Your personal charm may contribute! :-)
Peter, I've never doubted for one many how friendly the Parisians are, especially the Swedish ones! :)
Hah! I think The Chieftess has got you figured out, Virginia. Nice shot. I take this as license to shoot as many pretty young women as I can find.
It's because he is young lol !!!
Megi,
Thank you for you nice comments.
Pamela,
Yes, he's young! :)
Jack,
Actually Chieftess knows me very well! :)
Alexa,
Now I'm not sure about that because I do enjoy the more "mature" Parisians as well! HA
Mary, it was a fun lunch wasn't it!
i think travelling means getting in touch with people to get maximum of that atmosphere
great idea with shooting strangers Virginia ! it can be the best photo report in Paris
:)
