Perhaps he is lost and is hoping his phone will make him found. Such an atmospheric scene, dear V ~ I can imagine someone in a trench coat stepping out from the shadows for a rendezvous.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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 love the atmosphere in this photo.
Marvel at the confidence depicted in this photo .... Walking right smack dab in the middle of the street!
Nice picture...I often check my phone while out, but mostly for facebook!
I have a stupid phone. It saves me a lot of time!
Late for an important date? I love the light here. It looks slow and romantic even though he's in a hurry! :)
Like my old 'hood. SIgh.
So how long did you stand there waiting for someone to come down the street and make your picture perfect?
Nah, he was just checking how far he could walk before he crashed into someone or something.
Unusual to see any street so empty
He wanted to see if he had new comments on his blog.
