Many of you might remember this umbrella from the cover of my book, Paris Rouge Through My Lens While searching around in my photos yesterday, I found this shot that I'd also taken and never given a thought to after I found the other. She was in a hurry as she rushed below my perch in the window above her, but something caught her eye in the shop across the street.

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 remember that shot!
I love the slight haze around this shot. It emphasises the rains perfectly.
This picture is so special, I do love it! :)

I'm in love with umbrellas, and this is a perfect shot. Love it.
I remember the other -- I like them both, for different reasons!
I love this photo too! It captures a soft, quiet moment...
Love it love it. I think that the shop next to La Cordonnerie is a upscale print shop with samples of letterpress invitations and stationery...leave it to the French to stop in the rain to look at fine craftsmanship!!!
Love! Super love even! :)
She stopped so you could get a good shot. :~}
J'aime!
I think she was looking at papeterie imprimés at Les Lettres de Saint-Roch, n'est-ce pas ?
James I think you are right about that. I wonder why I've never gone in! Our apartment where we sometimes stay is just across the street.
