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 think in my over 5yrs of France (Paris region) I haven't come across to one single chef or waiter (and waitress) who was NOT smoking - and it's so disgusting to think that they touch food right after having had a fag because I also never saw any washing their hands when coming back. But it makes for lovely pics!!! :)
Ah waiters all over the world need their smoko :)
Knowing what most of us know, or should know, in the year 2013 about the ravages of lung/throat cancer, I for one am not amused by seeing them take a drag on a fag. Thinking about kissing someone who tastes of old cigarettes is even worse.
A contrast from your last pic of waiter in motion. It seems they do stop once in a while.
Looks like a still from a Godard or Truffaut film; perfect in b/w.
Perfect in B&W...and absolutely so Parisian!!! I'm guessing people still smoke more in Europe than here in the States???
You've captured his demeanor and personality so well!
He looks like he might not be having the best day. He's attacking that "megot" with a vengeance and frowning to beat the band (or maybe that's just smoke in his eyes). It's a great capture, V!
At least, they have to smoke outside now.
cant tell you how many of those poles i walked into ...
It seems that a certain Southern belle photographer has a thing for the waiters and bartenders of Paris.
