Au Revoir Paris!

No, this is NOT Birmingham, but today I wing my way back home from Paris. I have had a magical summer in France . I thought it might be nice to share a special Paris photo with you today so that you can see why I don't want leave! As many times as I have had the privilege of traveling here, I never tire of the spectacular sites in this city. I took this on Sunday night when Peter ( Peter's Paris ) , Janet ( DC Confidential) and Maya ( Maya Photography) and I ended a jampacked day of sightseeing and photography at the Louvre with a quick late night shoot. Au revoir!

Musee du Louvre

Repairs? Storage? Trapped?

For a photographer,  Paris is a blessing and curse.  For me, it is a constant feast for the eyes.  But  on the other hand, Paris has been photographed from every possible angle for so many years by the world's finest photographers.  Intimidating indeed to find something new and interesting.  I don't pretend to do that.  I seek only to capture Paris for myself,  so that when I look back on my photographs, they are not just replicas from a guide book, but evoke a memory of a special moment, place or person.   Today, a visit to le Musee du Louvre.

The Tune du Jour is "Once Upon a Time" by Michael Dulin

One thing I really missed while I was away was Michael's music.  It's good to hear it again!

Grand Old Lady

For those of you who have grown up in Birmingham, this building is instantly recognizable. This wonderful Art Deco detailing is from Loveman's Department Store in downtown Birmingham.  This grand old lady evokes many fond memories.... eating lunch on the Mezzanine,  the glove department, the elevators with attendants in white gloves, the fabulous Christmas windows...and so many more.  This building now houses the  McWane Science Center.

Paris, 2007

I am in Paris this week.  I am preposting while I am gone.  In addition to the Birmingham photo each day, I am adding a Paris photo from my last trip in March, 2007.  From time to time I may leave a comment from Paris. Thank you for stopping by.
