Who else?
I was surprised to see one of the few people in fashion I might actually recognize during NYFW S/S 2012.

Occupy
There two women got out of their car to watch the march down Grand last Saturday. Of course, they didn’t have much choice because the marchers had shut down the entire street.

Resting before Rafa
This woman and her family—three sons and a husband—had come from Mexico to watch Rafael Nadal play in the U.S. Open final. On the 7 train to Flushing Meadows, they caught a few minutes of rest.

Smoke and jealousy
Perhaps, the man on the right wishes he had an aperitif instead of a coffee.

Evening letters
While walking back from a exhibition opening at la Petite Poule Noire in Paris, I saw these two boys spending a Saturday evening playing outside their doorway on the boulevard Beaumarchais.

Where the world shops
Le Bon Marché is the oldest and most famous department store in Paris. Although it’s no longer the place to see the best and latest fashions, visiting the store is still a fun, albeit often unaffordable experience.

The lawnmower
This is Gabi; he has been a shepherd his entire life. In Grambois, we called him the lawnmower because he would bring his sheep over to cut, i.e. eat, the grass.

Field conditions
I was driving through Provence when I saw this basketball field located in the middle of a soccer field. Somehow, I guess that no one has played there recently.

End of day, Provence
While driving home, I spotted the local shepherd with his flock and some friends. When I approached the shepherd for a quick chat, his friends hopped in their car and headed off into the sunset.

Biking by
I love this intersection at St. Germain and rue Bonaparte with the city’s best known cafes in the background. Late one night, this woman rode by. She was fast, but by shutter was slow, producing the motion blur.

I’m in the process of reviewing the Yashica Electro 35 rangefinder for Steve Huff’s website. It has a fixed 45mm f/1.7 with a tendency to flare—usually inelegantly. Fortunately, it behaved itself here and produced some nice flare.
