Hey everyone.

Some of you know me well and some don't know me at all as I moved out of England last summer about a year ago now. Anyway I'm expecting a little girl in November (very happy). I've decided to go with a Parisian theme in her nursery, and last time I went I wasn't into photography so I've got nothing but a few crappy snaps.

So I'm willing to pay (not a bundle mind you) for a few 8x10 or 11x14's of the well known landmarks of that great city. Preferably in B&W. Yes I know I can go to any high street store but I thought it would be cool if I could say I know so and so took this. I know some of you are planning a trip to Paris soon (can't remember date).

So if anyone is interested you can either PM me or heck post the pics here...

Mods if there is an issue with this let me know.

Thanks Renee

Congratulations :)

I've got some from Paris that you are welcome to. I'm away soon for the weekend so can't put them up now. If you still need them Monday I'll put some on my webspace for you to look through. Then I'll let you have the full size files if you want any for printing. No money needed :)

Oh and I don't do mono but I'm sure you could convert them :)

Huge congrats!

If you haven't found any by September, when the TP trip is planned I'll send you some of my images (free, obviously!), and I'm sure that some of the others going will do the same!

Can't have TP members paying, specially not for something like that!

Congratulations again :D

Hey thanks everyone. I wanted a theme that one I could stand and 2 was less expensive. So I'm hitting up the flea markets and garage sales for Shabby Chic and hope to bring it all together. Plus Paris is a special place for hubby and I (Our honeymoon) so it'll be nice to have a place for that memory too.

Anyway thanks all for the links and such. I'll get back to you later as I'll probably be a typical girl takin' my time making a decision.

Firstly, congratulations on your news - fantastic to hear.

Secondly, I have a few varied shots of paris if you'd like some.

Have a look on my website http://www.ajbphotos.co.uk under the Paris section.

Let me know if you like any and I can send some across.

Cheers and congrats again.

Quite ironic really as me and my wife got engaged in Paris then had our honeymoon in New York!!!

(The first Paris pic on my website is the spot where I propsed - Garden des les toullieres (excuse spelling) near the Louvre!)

There are some stunning pics guys.

I have to say Blapto the pic with La Defense at the end of the street is really something. We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel right next to La Defense (a really cheap 4* stay for anyone looking) so that building has really special meaning.

The hardest thing about this request is that my room is only so big, I'm going to want way more than will fit! Keep 'em coming.

Are you after buildings or general street scenes, I will be posting a few street scenes to Flickr later. If you fancy any either grab them or if you cant, let me know and I will make them available.
Sounds like a great theme, i love Paris in the morning.......

Hey guys just wanted to say thanks for all the pics (and if anyone else wants to jump in by all means). I'm going to wait to make a decision till I get he furniture moved around and I can see what wall needs what. So I'm definitely up for more. And hey I might just wait till ya'll go in Sept. I'm still trying to convince my husband I should go on one last TP meet but he says being 7 months pregnant and flying across the atlantic isn't a good idea. Ohh well.
