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.

Awesome picture, b&w is just perfect!
Léia
Keep meaning to go but haven't made it....yet.
Can't help thinking of Magritte...
Monsieur Maigret seems absorbed in the text. A nice diversion from routine perhaps.
What is that circular presentation on the wall? NIce photo!
Duncan In Kuantan
All he needs is a bowler and he'd look like a Magritte!
We often discussed horizontal, vertical, colours, b&w... No problem here - you made the right choice!
Cool shot.
Love this shot. Reminds me of my ex, though, who has to read every bloody word when we go to a museum.
Brillant photo, Virginia!
