It's nearly two years since I went to Paris (2004), but I've finally uploaded a selection of my husband's and my photos. I haven't yet id'd them yet, so I hope you'll just enjoy the feeling of the city. I promise to id them in June, after I get my masters degree in June. I've got it set so anyone can view them.

PS. I'm not a kid anymore, either! There's only so much I can multi-task. This photo album is a project born out of procrastinating completing my course work!

You really got some nice shots; thanks for posting.

Thank you..I just got a mini-Paris fix!! I love the first one of the Eiffel Tower and the cafe. What street is that taken from?

progol

Gomiki,
I wish I knew the street. I'll ask my more detail-obsessed husband if he can figure it out.

I appreciate the comments! It was our first time with a point-and-shoot digital camera instead of schlepping a film SLR with lenses. Going light instead of carrying the weight of equipment is a great advantage, but from someone used to shooting with more equipment, it took getting used to thinking visually with a lot less control. But definitely more convenient!

The street was the rue Saint Dominique in the Seventh.

I like the last one - where he blows you a kiss with J'taime written in the background!

Moi, aussi!

I loved your pictures of Paris. I'm leaving in a week and the photos made me even more anxious to to be there. Thank you so much for sharing!

progol

Thanks. We're going back in July and I can't wait. Enjoy your trip!

Thanks for sharing your photos. You have embarrassed me into digging mine out and uploading them. I, too, have been procastinating - and I have no excuses.

chandrayoung

it was great to see your photos...last time we were there we left our camera somewhere! when we go in 2 weeks we hope to take some great shots.
what is the building in (i think) image 6033? it's a white-ish curved building. thanks. maybe i'll be organized enough to post my photos when we return.

progol

Hi, Chandrayoung,
The building is on the Viaduc Des Arts, a former viaduct/small railroad, which was converted to a walkway. I got a kick out of the way the building just seemed to be cut in half.

Don't worry, it took me almost two years to get these posted. And it will probably be another two years before I finish the trip!

progol, you have a wonderful eye for those magical moments. I loved the photo of the young woman in the boulangerie.

Thanks for posting these.

Like Anselm, we walked the same street, and you brought it alive again.
