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.

Beautiful soft, warm dreamy image Virginia, made even more so by the glow from the red candle holders.
I so wish I could catch light in the darkness like this! My photos come out very blurry when I do!!!! Anita
So sacred !
Beautiful photos.
I love the contrast of light and dark.
Are they as tall as they appear in this picture?
Lovely .. I had never lit a candle in a church til I got Brugges many years ago .. I had two very ill friends at the time and it seemed a perfect way to remember them
Make a prayer and a wish.
When lighting a candle Virginia.
Great photograph.

I failed miserably when I tried to get some candle shots in Paris, so my hats off to you. I like your Eiffel shot above too!
Just perfectly captured, V! And so beautiful. You're obviously a very steady person. :~}
Even though not religious, I always have an intense reaction in churches with the wonderful stained glass windows, amazing statuary and hundreds of lit candles.
Let your light so shine before others that they may see your good works and give glory to your God!
Leif, words we should all live by.
Starman, yes the tapers were long and slender. Aren't they beautiful!
T. Beque, I have seen your Paris and Italy photographs. You have captured many many gorgeous images!

Really beautiful picture. Candles create such atmosphere.
