It's been a long time since I started my 100 French Strangers Challenge. Back in 2009, I started it after having a grand time finding 100 strangers who I spoke with before taking the photo here in Birmingham. I have always found the French to be very welcoming and friendly and love capturing their smiles ( and sometimes not). This is a talented artist I met on rue de Rivoli on a rainy Sunday last November. I loved her work and asked for her photo.

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.

A cheerful expression here.
good one V
What a wonderful idea! I suspect part of the friendliness you encounter is because of you are friendly and welcoming too!
