This cafe is in the Marais, near Place des Vosges. Paris is a great city to photograph at night and in the early morning. I didn’t have a tripod with me this night, so I used a small bag of rice to steady the camera on a street pole.

This image was shot on a Sony digital camera.

It’s been about 14 years since Jim and I made our first trip to Paris together. We fell in love with the city and it became our home away from home. Our annual trips fueled a desire to move to Paris.

Now I’m working in the City of Lights and they burn much brighter when Jim is able to make the trip over.
