Shooting on the street often requires a quick decision and an equally quick shot. I'm often pleased when I get a look at my downloaded images with what I captured. This photograph is full of little details that I missed, while really trying to get the bulldog begging for a nibble.

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 wonder if the waiter is going to chase away the beggar? I've seen them do that so often in Paris.
Your timing was perfect. A wonderful shot.
I love that French dogs are so treasured.. Lots to see in this image Virginia.. Can't wait to go back :)
Pls let me know name and location of this resto. I seem to know it but cannot place it - and I find this worrying.... :)
I love ALL the détails and often I too am amazed at what I saw and at what really looks different when I view my shots on the computer screen........ Brave new technology makes these miracles and surprises possible!
bisous
Love this one. The waiter is a hottie and the woman with the cane so French.
A very typical shot of Paris...
Good capture, V! I recall that the beggar woman eventually gave up and moved along (not chased by the waiter, Starman), but the bulldog was tenacious.
A marvelous capture, Virginia!
This shot is just chock-a-block full of details, Virginia. The wonderful ceiling of arches, the waiter's stance and expression, the sign on the floor, the old person shuffling along, the lanterns, all before we even get to the dog.
Paris is certainly a city with class and culture V particularly when shot in black and white.
Muy muy buena!
«Louis» recognized this immediately as being at Place des Vosges!
