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.

I love to have a look at the windows of all the expensive shops in Rue Saint Honoré.
Rainy nights make for fabulous reflections.
Jazzy mood!
There's something magical about Paris on rainy nights ... I think it's the way lights reflect off shiny wet cobble-stones.
This is a great capture Virginia .....makes me home-sick for that beautiful city.
Awesome picture with lovely reflections, I like a lot city night lights!
Léia
This transports me to Paris - I feel as if I am walking behind the women inhaling the scent of the damp Parisian air. Thank you.
I can see why this is one of your faves ... It just glows (and I am sure the rouge doesn't hurt either!)
Why doesn't a rainy night here have the same charm? It makes me homesick for Paris, and I've never been there!
And they watered down the streets just to give you reflections - nice!
Lovely shot with accents of rouge, and unless you tell me that silhouette is Mary, she "must be a French girl!"
Welcome home! I so look forward to your images each day; I'll join the chorus loving Paris in the rain~
There is a lot going on here..and I like it all...
Great capture of a rainy night in Paris. I wonder if the French girl is checking her phone for a text or checking her messages?
La pluie fait briller la nuit.
very atmospheric...
Not to worry, it looks like the rain has stopped.
Oui Genie...c'est moi!
And I can see why. Love those rain gutters in the street in the older parts of Paris. Even better when red with passion.
I love this ... so rouge :)
Easy to understand that it's one of your favourites! (... although I haven't yet seen the other hundreds, thousands your took during this latest (not last) trip!
Great shot Virginia!
Great reflection shot.
Sydney - City and Suburbs
I feel like I'm there. Here’s my Dreaming of France meme
Such great contrasts - The almost garish reflection of red lights, the very modern young woman's pose, and the way the rooftops recede in the background. Beautiful.
No wonder film directors will often ask for their locations to be wet down; the look is so dramatic.
Lovely.
La parisienne dans toute sa splendeur... Et dans son écrin de lumière, bien vu !
