Virginia, I have been going through your posts and having a very pleasurable time. I will never make it to Paris, I am sure . . . but I can dream and your photos join my heart and soul together to create marvelous dreams. I especially love the one titled, "Singing her heart out on the steps of the Opéra Garnier". absolutely magnificent.
First trip to Paris I ordered coffee to the room at 7 AM . It was a huge cup and delish, I was shaking so I couldn't put on my lipstick. The Manager said ask for American coffee. I love Paris. yvonne
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.
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.
