This taken in June, 2010, you can see a few locks behind this musician. Now......there is no space left as the locks of love have covered every single inch of this lovely bridge. Hopefully, the city of Paris will soon remove them all as they pose a huge weight on the bridge and also block the view of the Seine. I vote to have them gone!

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 vote to have them all gone too V. One day all the locks on all the bridges around the world will find their missing keys and be free.
I quite agree. A real eyesore. It could take a while to remove them though! We were on Senghor footbridge (ex-Solférino) on Sunday and it's being overtaken as well, but I don't mind because I don't find it attractive anyway and there is no risk of the weight of the locks causing the fence to fall into the Seine.
I find them to be visual clutter, and the result of self indulgent people who don't seem to grasp that these bridges are not theirs to do with as they like.
I vote for total removal as well! But this nice musician can stay. Was he posing for you, V—or did you "grab" this shot?
