I never tire of photographing this bridge now that it has been rid of the zillions of horrible "love locks". Merci to the City of Paris for tackling this expensive and time consuming task. Thankfully now more bridges are being rid of the weight and destruction due to the lock craze. Make love... not locks!

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 agree! I couldn't believe tourists persisted in mindlessly defacing the bridges with those things long after their negative effects were made very, very clear to the public. Rude and selfish - but now, how nice the bridges look! Thanks for this photo update!
Thanks for the clean bridge!
Great perspective! A pedestrian bridge here seems to attract them. I think they're a blight.
Just got back from a month there. They still put locks on everything they can. I guess it's a tradition they don't want to let die. They get kind of creative in finding places to put their locks now. As long as it's near a bridge, you'll find some locks!
