"It's Paris, it raining." I heard that my first trip to Paris in 2007. Some things never change. Of course it does, and you seize the moment to capture the reflections, the mood. Paris at it's best I think.

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 like the graduated, reflected light, VJ. Very moody ...
I've heard it said that Paris is at it's most beautiful in the rain.
WONDERFUL...love the angles of your composition!!!
It certainly does make for a beautiful shot!
lemonade out of lemons—but you're good at that!
Wonderful shot!
I've always liked rain and in Paris it's just icing on the cake for me.
It rained every day when I was there last year!
Love the contrast and composition of this image. Any weather in Paris provides a photo opportunity! Best wishes for a great 2015. xxx
It is beautiful! It only rained on me one day when I was in Paris this summer, but I enjoyed it just as much as the sunny days.
