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.

Well, V, this gave me pause. I went to the conservatorium with a Lefevre {and pronounced in a most un-French fashion}. I wonder if his family tree links up with this one somewhere. Especially beautiful in the B&W.
it's a great location isn't it! This past trip I managed Passey, PLC, Montmatre and Montparnasse. All quite different from each other.
I've not seen this cemetery. Must get my Paris map out to find its location. Thanks for the photo.
Peace with a nice view...
God bless you!

Why is it cemeteries make great photos?
Happy Mother's Day V !!!
To spend eternity in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower... I'll bet more than a few people would like that. There are perhaps worse places to spend eternity...
That's an interesting story about the Vietnam Emperor, Bảo Đại.
I have a photo of his grave. Hold the info and then you can share with us! :)
Wow, so many layers here! Love it.
I saw your pretty face on my blog! Thankx
Love the beautiful lady peeking through the tombstones... a perfect black and white shot.
She always seems to be peeking around the bend. Beautiful shot.
I think I will just say WOW.
I wouldn't mind spending eternity (but not right away, merci) within sight of the ET! Great shot, V, and especially in b&w. Happy Mother's Day to you.
This is a great photo! Award winning, V! Fun to photograph in a Parisian cemetery especially with the tower in the background!
That is just a fantastic photo.
Love how le ET is in the sun yet also has a bokeh effect... nicely captured V!!!!
That reminds me why I didn't go to the top of the ET with Lois Anne...I thought I'd die.
