Wandering through Places and Moments
Earlier today, I shared some of my Paris photos that were more reminiscent of cartes postales (postcards). With this post, I’ll share some photos that are less stereotypically Paris (at least in the Tourist Imaginary), but are still very much Paris (and still a little…
What is it about streetlamps and lampposts that make them so charming? I love these practical yet beautiful lights that line the streets (or stick out of buildings), illuminating the way for nighttime explorations. I particularly enjoy seeing older streetlamps, complete with some spider webs,…
Bonjour, blogosphere! I’m back from my trip back to Paris (and several other parts of France + Florence), and excited to share photos and tidbits with you. I always feel at home à Paris, and this trip was no different. A perfect mix of brusque…
