Today I share a couple of photos that I took recently while wandering in the Montmartre section of Paris.  It might be my favorite section of the city - so much beauty there!

Exploring the area near Notre Dame in Paris, I found this great little cafe all aglow, and just had to stop for some shots!

A beautiful sunset in southern France...don't you love happy accidents?

Today I take you on a tour of the lovely city of Paris, France - all in black and white.  Sure, I generally go for big colors, but change is good, and I am working to embrace my inner monochrome artist, and bringing it all to you right here!  Enjoy!

Here's an arc de triomphe from France that you probably haven't heard of - it's in Montpellier.  Sure, it's not as big as the more famous arc in Paris, but hey it's pretty awesome!

Today I take you on a nighttime visit to The Sorbonne in Paris - a gorgeous area of town that is lively and very photogenic.  Come along!

Does sleep ever with out over your desire to get out and shoot?  Sometimes it does for me, but generally not when I travel.  I often fight it off for as long as I can stand it, so that I can get in some more shots.  Today's post is a few photos from a stunning sunset in Montpellier that I would have missed if I hadn't been so stubborn!

It's a big fat post about the cafes in Paris, yay!  :-)  I spent a week in Paris more than a year ago, and just got around to processing some of these shots.  I started with one, then another, and ended up with 11 photos of cafes in Paris.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed being there taking them!

Have you ever heard that Paris is beautiful?  No?  I didn't think so.  :-)  I spent a week there last Fall, and captured so many photos that I still have plenty to process.  But although I shared these in some spots, I never got around to writing up this summary post about the trip and sharing the photographic highlights - until now!  So dive in and enjoy these 23 photos from the fabulously beautiful City of Light!

There is a LOT to see on the Champs Elysees in Paris.  It's a big, crowded street that famous for shopping, but in my opinion you can also make some great photographs in places like that - you just have to look a little harder!  Here are 14 photos as proof!

There is just so much awesomeness in Paris - starting with that iconic symbol of the city, the Eiffel Tower.  On my last trip there, I shot it a LOT, starting with today's photos which are from The Trocadero.  It's across the River Seine from the Eiffel Tower and as you can clearly see, offers up a pretty incredible view!  Have a look and enjoy!

It's hard to beat a great sunset.  We all know that.  But when you are in France and you get a great sunset?  Well, that's something to write home about!  Or in this case, write a blog post about.  :-)  

Here's a few pics to enjoy - and I sure hope you enjoy them.  I definitely enjoyed being there and taking them!

Paris is a beautiful city - that's basically an undisputed fact.  But on my recent visit there, I found beauty in lots of unexpected places - including inside a cafe, inside the Musee d'Orsay museum.  Here's a visual tour of the place, which is the home to many of the great works of the Impressionists.  Enjoy!

It's always hard to get up early for anything - even if it's something you love, like shooting sunrise.  But then again, you can't shoot sunrise any other time of day except morning, so an early rise is sort of a requirement.  So I did just that when I was in Montpellier, France a while back - and it was well worth it!  And it was an amazing sunrise!

Do you ever find yourself in the wrong spot when the light gets awesome?  Yeah, me too.  So I do what any sane person would do - RUN and find a good spot!  Luckily, I didn't get hit by any of the bewildered Parisian drivers!

Ah, the beauty of Notre Dame in Paris!  And even prettier with a huge Christmas tree out front!  Click on through and have a look - there are 7 photos for you to enjoy today my friends!

Here's a collection of shots from a FABULOUS sunset I shot recently in Montpellier, France.  Although I was tired from no sleep on the flight over, I just could NOT resist getting out and exploring a bit.  Then to get rewarded with such great light - well, let's just say I was pretty dang happy!

How about some iPhone shots from my recent visit to Paris, France?  Sound good?  Great!  Here you go!  This is 10 iPhone pics from that beautiful city we all love.  Take a look and let me know your thoughts!

I was in Montpellier, France last week and found it to be awesome.  As you can imagine, I gunned a MASSIVE amount of photos, but I am still in France (yay!) so today's post is a collection of 10 iPhone shots from last week in the lovely southern French city of Montpellier!  I think you are going to enjoy these!

This may qualify as my longest post ever, at least in terms of the number of photos that it contains.  But, it was worth every minute it took to prepare it for you. Click through to enjoy a visual tour of that most beautiful French Chateau in the Loire Valley - Chateau de Chenonceau.  Then pack your bags - you're likely to want to travel to France asap!
