About Me
- Virginia
- Birmingham, AL, United States
- I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

This is an AWESOME photo, Virginia! I have never seen one like it! Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!
An amazing view Virginia.
I've never seen Arc de Triomphe from this angle before - very clever!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Shane :)
Oh là là, c'est si haut!!!! SUPER! Anita
Very cool. I like the way the long lens compresses things.
Oh wow. Such a spectacular shot Virginia. A wonderful boulevard.
Wonderful shot with a 50's postcard view of this famous avenue... glad that you were hanging on tightly!
The sepia effect gives it an old time look ... until you look at the new buildings in the background .. nice!
What a wonderful shot Virginia, it has that 'vintage' feel to it, what a sight!!
Nice shot, i like it a lot
Wonderful, Virginia. It looks like something from the 30s. Or, so they say. I wasn't around.
I love the Grande Roue, but for obvious reasons, missed it on the last trip.
It does look vintage. I would NOT like to try driving down there!
I am new to your blog , this is fantastic. What a photo.
Stop over, I have put you on my sidebar for exposure. join my followers and I will also do the same.

Another beautiful photo -- you really know how to please us!
Wow! If it wasn't for La Défense, I might even believe this was a vintage photo. A view (and photo op) like this might even be worth a slight case of Ferris phobia.
This is especially special, V.
The compression of distance is superb, VJ. It makes La Defense appear to be 'just there'. Nicely processed, and nicely shot in that just-off-centre way.
Julie, when you're bobbing around in that glass capsule (avec rain splatters) you just snap away and pray for something. I actually chose sepia because the color was so awful! There you have my confessions!
Excellent shot! Sepia gives it a classic look.
Beautiful! The sepia effect resulted very well.
Salut
Looks very vintage...like it's straight out of WWII!!!
