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.

The perfect place to watch the sun go down .... I believe every now-and-again these locks are cut off and disposed of ....... I've never seen it anything but jam-pack full.
Youve captured lovely soft lighting on Pont Neuf.
"All Things French"
Si cela continue, le pont des arts va s'écrouler sous le poids des cadenas.
Il demeure un bon souvenir pour moi... Merci pour ce joli cliché.
Gros bisous
I like this pic,showing several lines of history and ..love!
For real treat visit Pont Neuf on a Monday when the weather is nice and watch Didier Lespagnol paint beautiful watercolors of the bridge and Cité
I love this picture, this bridge is adorable!

Jeff,
I think I might have told you that I have many of Didier's prints. He's a most persausive French painter! HA I usually see him at Place des Vosges or the arts fair at Bastille.
It is photogenic, that is for sure. At least until all the weight of love collapses the bridge. There is probably some meaning there, but I can't figure it out.
What a beautiful photograph this is. Such a wonderful composition.
Even in the cold I would still like to be there.
I like this photo because it makes le Pont des Arts look like it's sinking into the Seine from the weight of all the locks.
It really does, Starman! Don't think I've ever seen it with so many locks at once. Great composition, V!
A sweet, lovely sigh. Beautiful image.
I love the perspective in this photo, the sort of echo you've created. Someone, an American in Blogland recently sharply criticized the custom of the locks. So they do get removed periodically & then the fence gets filled again...is that bad? I don't know, but I love that people keep getting to have this sweet experience & feel part of a tradition...
Interesting juxtaposition!
I love this bridge :)
