“En plein air” means open air in French…and that’s where I’ve been. Night after balmy summer night since my return, with barely a breeze to hurry me back inside. I’ve become a sunrise to sunset twinkle light chaser with my camera by my side, riding shotgun for snapshots at a shimmer’s notice. Moments for that aren’t hard to come by in a late Paris summer, between twirling past rooftops on the swings and ferris wheel of Tuileries or lying in a midnight park with friends at your side and a good movie projected before your eyes. We all know summer doesn’t last forever though, so take a deep breath and a good look.
