About Me
- Virginia
- 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.

Le monument préféré des français ?
It does look like quite a complicated mechanism. There's always the stares. Do they have a resuscitation machine at the top?
love the way the header and the photo compliment one another!
Excellent detail. I knew there were elevators, but in most pics of the tower, you simply do not see where they go.
We'll I've never gone up the Eiffel tower and I am a bit claustrophobic. :-)
Oh, I like the web of lines in this image. Well done, Virginia.
I used these elevators this past summer. Not a pleasant experience with the crowds, but my injured knee prevented me from using the stairs!
