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.

Love the way you framed them with the trees.
They say that owners take after their dogs. Not so in this case. There is stark contrast between the basic black of the owners outfit and the white fluff of that poodle. Great composition V.
Oh no I have to disagree with Joe. The way they are both hunched, crouched...they definitely look like each other to me! Priceless.

The contrast of colors between the two of them makes a striking photo.
I agree with Kate!
Perfect symmetry. Great shot!
What a study in black and white! Very nice eye you have, my dear!
Love those white shoes!
Love love love! :)
What a nice dog! I've heard that standard poodles are one of the smartest breeds of all. But if he were mine, I'd give him a red collar and leash. :~}
Nicely done, Virginia. Your framing is excellent. I can just imagine you there, silently waiting and saying to yourself, "Come on . . . don't turn there . . . yes . . . just a little further . . . NOW!"
