When I first came to Paris, I had a scorching case of camera shyness where I never wanted to take pictures in fear of being outed as a foreigner...or worst..a <gasp> tourist! I guess I just wanted to fit in and give the impression that I was a busy Parisienne out and about, forgetting the fact that the second I opened my mouth, the jig would be up.
Now that those days are over and have grown into myself here where I'm not terribly concerned with what people on the street think I am (or not), I can always be found with a huge camera around my neck getting into nooks and crannies to get shot of something that caught my eye. While cleaning out my apartment the other day, I came across a memory card from last year and had forgotten that I took these at one of my favorite Brocantes (flea market) on rue de Bretagne.
Now that spring has arrived and being outside is preferable to holing up inside, I look forward to all the outdoor treats the city will have to offer! Now get off line and get out of the house!
Bon week-end à tous!
