This month I celebrated the one-year anniversary of my Eye Prefer Paris Tours. I remember my first client, Dave McCarty, posted some wonderful black & white photos on his website, and I asked his permission to post them on my blog.
It was Dave’s first time in Paris and he only had two days here. He was easygoing and open-minded and wanted to see the interesting and the offbeat. We did a Marais tour, but did the more unknown part, the narrow winding streets in between rue St. Antoine, and the Seine. Dave works in advertising and lives near Cape May, New Jersey and I shared stories about spending my childhood summers in Wildwood, a nearby boardwalk resort.
I love the nostalgic quality of the black & white photos and they have the feel of Doisneau, especially the one of the couple on the bridge by the Eiffel Tower.
You always remember your first, so here’s to you Dave.

I am pleased as punch to announce the launch of Eye Prefer Paris Tours, which are 3-hour walking tours I will personally be leading. The Eye Prefer Paris Tour
includes many of the places I have written about such as small museums & galleries, restaurants, cafes & food markets, secret addresses, fashion & home boutiques, parks, and much more.
I look forward to meeting you on my tours and it will be my pleasure and delight to show you my insiders Paris.

Great pictures. Funny isn't it how far we have come with photography, but nothing really beats the black and white for character!
