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.

Anne and I went to the Musee Rodin with our Parisian friend Claude but we didn't see those three chairs!
C'est bizarre, non?
Had a nice dinner at Chez Clément near Place de la Bastille. It's warm and partly sunny today.
Great play of light and shadow -- I love it n B & W! Proof of a true artiste --- while the rest of us are only looking at the statues and art work -- you see beauty everywhere and capture it. Thank you for sharing your talent and opening our eyes!
I don't remember those chairs there either. :~} You just see art everywhere, don't you? Or maybe I should say that you can create art from anything you see. Either way, I think this is just wonderful!
Beautiful study in black and white Virginia, shapes and shadows make for a serene, peaceful image.
Lovely soft light.
A nice, simple image from you tonight, Virginia. I am seeing a lot of black and white photos from the bloggers I follow. I didn't get the memo . . .
LOVE that museum! Isn't it a photographer's dream?
My thought on visiting the Musee Rodin is that he chose to work there because of the light. I see you did, too.
I like this! The lighting and shadows are perfect for black and white!
Oh lovely to visit you again Virgina and get my Paris fix!
Adore le petite garçon - total concentration to the job in hand - he will go far!!!
Sorry I've neglected my blog friiends lately but I'm back on track now!!!
Take care'hugs
