Paris Photos on the Fence

I've enjoyed this Paris photographer's work on many trips. He sets up his work along the fence of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés church on nice days. He's very talented, and I will probably buy one of his images one day. 

Après-midi au Bois de Bologne

Enjoying a conversation on a lovely Sunday afternoon.

L'homme de la photographie

These vintage Paris photographs covered construction walls across the plaza at Hôtel de Ville last month. I was not the only photographer who stood and waited, and waited, and waited till just the right subject walked into our lens.

Pétanque à Place Dauphine

Through the Parisian grapevine I have heard that there are often pétanque players at Place Dauphine. It's no secret that I've been enamored with these guys at Luxembourg Gardens since 2009. This last visit, I finally found this nice group of men, young and old at Place Dauphine. This player was most accommodating. Merci, Monsieur!

Le bateau

 It rains in Paris... embrace it and photograph it.

Seul

When all of Paris is alive with people,  the Jardin du Palais Royal remains a quiet and lovely place. J'adore.

Après-midi dans le quartier du Marais

It's rare that I can get "rim light" to work for me.  This was such a charming scene I must have taken at least 10 shots in order to get just one.  Personally I think Monsieur avec son vélo just makes this one!

Today I join the World in Black and White right here! 

Who's There?

Today I share a photograph that might just be one of my VERY favorites. Oh I know I say that a lot, but today I really mean it. As you know, the photos that I love the most are the ones that bring back very special memories of Paris. On second thought, they probably all do! Well, this photo is from a delightful late afternoon last summer when Melissa, Eva, Davis and I joined our dear Birmingham friends, the Wilsons, at the Palais Royal late one afternoon.

Tied Up in Paris

Well our clever blog friend Keith, from A Taste of Garlic, will have a field day with this post title! Actually, I've spent the better part of the last few days creating some new Paris calendars for 2011. I now have a color one for sale on Zazzle ( see the widget on the sidebar), but decided I'd try Red Bubble's calendar as well. There, I'm designing Paris en Noir et Blanc. I found some BW images I've not shared with you, so today we go back to the Bois de Boulogne. Nice memories of a Sunday afternoon spent wandering around the beautiful little lake last year. Enjoy.
