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.

How inventive. Who would have thought that the ordinary plastic bag could be turned into an art form. I like this sort of creativity.
Good idea to recycle , and to give touch of colors to PAris.
They look much better than most plastic bags do.
Very creative and colorful work of art,Virginia!

At first glance I thought these were popped balloons... similar, but different I suppose.
Unfortunately, probably all picked up while blowing around the streets. (at least here)
I guess anything can be used to fashion a creative sculpture or art piece.
But if they weren't recycled...what a waste!
I was going to say what Kate said—and I love the way you composed this shot.
Wait! I have some trash to contribute . . .
What a delightful array of color, and I see the wavy reflection in that upper window. Very nice!

I saw a similar installation at the Biennale dell´Arte in Venice some years ago.
Sometimes simple works, gosh all those plastic bags..they're going to have to send this one on an around the world trip so they never have to find a way to dispose of them :)
Clever and cool!
