Never in my wildest dreams, when I fell in love with Paris and photography in 2007, did I ever imagine that one day I would have one of my images on a book cover, much less a book published by
Penguin Random House, set in Paris! Last week
Juliet Blackwell's newest novel,
The Paris Key, arrived at my doorstep with this lovely note. I started reading it immediately and was struck by so many wonderful serendipitous events that I had to share with Juliet. The story, set in the Marais at Village St. Paul is just a few blocks from an apartment I rented in the 2010. While there, I photographed a lovely man who had
KEY shop and had written a book about antique KEYS! I hope all of my friends who love Paris will order this book, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I am.

ReplyDeleteI am thrilled with you, VJ! I have ordered the book and hope that I, too, find some familiar scenes in it. Congratulations! Love your new Carousel banner.
ReplyDeleteI am over the moon for you, V! And of course, Marais is my stomping grounds -- my friend lived there, so I'm extra eager to read this one!

ReplyDeleteOH my. I haven't had this many comments in about 5 years! How can I thank you all for your wonderful remarks and encouragement. Many of you have been on this journey with me since 2008. This blog has brought me so many dear friendships and you have opened my world and I'm eternally grateful. Photography and Paris came late in my life but oh how I"ve grown as a result. I look forward to continuing our friendships and thank you again for your support.
