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 start early too, as I often see school girls arm in arm.
It is so nice to see V.
Lovely shot, Virginia!
I love both the look and the feel of this one, V.
Nice one, V!
When I visited Paris with my high school French class in 1971, our teacher told us girls to walk arm in arm because not doing so was an open invitation to lascivious men who would grab at us. We didn't believe her, but it turned out to be true. I wonder if it is still?
Petrea, I think it's a gesture of friendship and camaraderie. I often see it with older women, and young as well.
Well actually, the question really is, "Would you like a glass of champagne?"
