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.

Beautiful.
Alas! The new ones will lack the character.
I think any city that is known and loved for its history makes a mistake by destroying it. Tourists don't visit Paris to see the things they can see in any strip mall.
Seriously???
That is depressing...who decided that destroying one of the "icons" would be a good idea?
Maybe the Eiffel Tower should go?
Grrr...I'm with Petrea
Oh no! Can Parisians stop it? I too wonder who decided...Your photo is a lovely souvenir...
