Buren's Les Deux Plateaux has, since its installation in 1986, evoked the usual love/hate discussions in Paris. I will admit that I have always loved them. Maybe it's the fact that I had to view them behind walls during the multi million dollar restoration from my first visit in 2007 till the miraculous day in January 2010, when the walls came down overnight, and I finally had a shot at them, I don't know. They are graphic and offer me a zillion photo opportunities. J'adore!

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.

They are very striking and such a contrast to the surrounding architecture V. They would make me stop with camera at the ready too.
Yipes, stripes ! OK that's going back too far... and going too far for this wonderful installation. Nicely framed shot !
They do contrast well with the surroundings.
They've grown on me—and they're certainly nicer than the parking lot that used to be there!
I like them too!
Me also. But a 3 year restoration?
