This time I went to Paris.
My work usually takes me to some mundane places. I’ve made countless treks to Boston, and I visit Dallas with some regularity. Every now and then, the assignment is to drum up media coverage at an international trade show. I did... And a couple evenings, I managed to sneak away and indulge myself in the sights of the city.
My first stop was the Eiffel Tower. I went by train, and when I exited the station the sheer majesty stunned me. I’ve seen millions of pictures and have even visited once before (long ago). This time, however I was in awe. I spent the afternoon and into the evening shooting pictures. You’ll see my photos range from afternoon to dusk to the illuminated night scenes. From the energy of people at the tower to the building itself, I don’t think I ever tired of shooting.
On my last day there, my curiosity drew me to the Louvre, then along the Seine River to Notre Dame. That’s where I captured the life and love of the city. Couples kissing, merchants selling, people along the river relaxing and reading. I went there for work, but by the time I left I was saying Je t’aime Paris. See the photos.
