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.

Hi Virginia,
I love L'homme Rouge in front of l'Opera Garnier.
Also how wonderful the new photo of the Eiffel Tower is, in your header.
Hope that you are having a lovely weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
You know, I have never seen L'HOMME ROUGE!!!! I don't remember this at all...sheesh, it's been nine years since I have been....
I must confess that I have been so many times right there at that spot and never noticed the homme rouge ! ai ai
I am going to Paris next week and hope to find the time to take the metro to the Opéra, just to see your little man
If only he had a little red scarf flowing from his neck...........
It doesn't mater how small the 'objet rouge' is Virginia, you will always find it! Is this the 'no walking' little red man??
Harriet, that's funny. A great addition I think.
Perth,
Yes it is and doesn't he look like he means business!
Belgium,
Next week??? Awwww. Le sigh
Anita, I wish I could find the l'homme vert too!
Carolyn,
Thank you
Haha, my first thought was "wow, I have never seen him!" until I remembered just how great your photo-eye is! Excellent!
I want to focus on the oh-so beautiful Opéra Garnier, but my eye keeps returning to the little red man. I love the hands-on-hips stance, like he's saying, "Don't even think of crossing the street right now!"
Alexa, as Mary and I like to say, "Non, non et NON! " :)
Well I am going in 8 wks! I will now have yet another thing to look for! Cute shot...
What a dark street. The red guy is a nice detail on this night shot :)
What a cool shot!
Very nice! & also excellent job on your Blurb book too!
Very nice place.

Interesting night shot. I like the way the Plan de Quartier stands out.
And, a beautiful view it is, through your lens!! blessings ~ tanna
