About Me

- Birmingham, AL, United States
- 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.
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.

This shot seems familiar.
You made my day. What a fantastic shot !
This combination of light and form is alluring. Warm regards
Wow, what a fantastic photo!
Your photos are lovely of course. But I'm also having fun, with trying to translate your Subject Lines, _before_ looking at the picture.
Please realize that I only had HS French, and I graduated HS in 1954! ('Twas Spanish, in college)
:-)
And it's empty—good composition and good timing!
Lovely and graceful
The simplicity makes it so beautiful.
The use of light makes this shot like a painting. Beautiful!
Stunning lines in this -- but did you photoshop out the people or were you lucky enough to be at the Louvre at a quiet moment?!
Superb, Virginia. Sinuous, sensual, romantic.
Excellent!
