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.

Somehow the cloth of broad-daylight is less befitting this Lady ...
Moi aussi - je suis Charlie. xxx
Yes....je suis Charlie.
I think this location has become etched in the public conciousness worldwide in a way that might not have been the case before. It is a beautiful sculptural work, and now associated so strongly with the response to what's happened.
I suspect you are right. The terrorists have been found (or most) and that part is over -- but it's never really over.
Absolutely, V! Je suis Charlie—and I am also Ahmed, the Muslim policeman who died trying to defend the rights of Charlie Hebdo's staff.
You are very right.
