This is the first of the month and as always, for over 6 years, I've participated in our City Daily Photo Theme Day. Click HERE to see how my fellow CDP bloggers interpreted the theme for this month, WORKER.
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.

Fabulous with great light and a dramatic angle. 😁
What a fab and perfect shot for the theme :)
Love the strength and the elusiveness of this photograph V. Bravo!!
Very Arty V. Love the suggestion of the person behind the window, without the intimate detail. Anonymous worker, perfect for the theme.
Splendid choice, Virginia!
Looks like he's doing a good job. :~}
Un métier assez pénible, surtout en hiver.
I like the shot and it fits the theme perfectly!
danke für die tollen inspirationen!!! einen schönen abend wünscht angie
It is a good choice, Virginia. The reflection adds something.
I think he has his eye on you, V. The reflection adds a story to a straightforward image. Good choice.
I found your photo on the CDP site, and am entranced by this image.
