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 love this perspective on the Eiffel Tower V. Giving me all sorts of ideas. Bon Vivant J.
I like this shot!!! Much closer than my closest one of La Tour!!!
Beautifully composed photo !
God or devil ? Je croyais la peinture plus rouge.
Mies, unfortunately, wasn't wise enough to create details like those.
Gorgeous angle, V. Very, very nice!
Terrific. Imagine that someone planned each of those pieces of metal -- for duty or for beauty.
tres magnifique!
It really is a magical structure Virginia and this capture shows us its wonderful intricate detailing. Brava.

That's an angle on the Tower I've never seen. Good shot, Virginia!
J'adore ca!
Love these details!
Well done, M. Eiffel—and you too, V!
I'll never forget the first time I stood under that tower...I never dreamed it would be like that...!!! Thank you for reminding me, & for capturing some of that detailing so beautifully.
très joli détail :)
