Mon oeil !
Rue Saint Agricol, Avignon
As I was taking photos of a street performer, this young lad literaly threw himself in front of my camera, proudly posing with a one euro coin stuck in front of his eye like an eye glass - the spirit of Robert Doisneau was so powerfully felt that I just had to switch my photo to black and white!
Alors que je prenais des photos d'un musicien de rue, ce jeune garçon s'est littéralement jeté devant mon objectif, posant fièrement avec une pièce d'un euro coincé devant l'oeil comme un monocle - l'esprit de Robert Doisneau a soufflé si fort que j'ai évidemment dû passer ma photo en noir et blanc !

This is awfully cute, Nathalie. I can't change back and forth between color and monochrome fast enough to shift once a suject is in front of me. Congrats on your dexterity.
Excellent !!!
:-)
Bon dimanche...

Ce qu'on appelle se mettre le Doisneau dans l'oeil... évidemment!
Estampillé France, il crâne avec son € dans l'œil. Dans son tee-shirt qui proclame "I ♥ NY", elle le bade...
Chouette photo !
Does NY lover would love France ?
Oui, il a manifestement une admiratrice (et pas à demi)...
Je pensais plutôt à Henri Cartier-Bresson, moi...
Un comédien né.
Bon réflexe "in situ" et plus tard dans ta "chambre noire."
:-)
ouiiiiiiiiiiiiii comme toujours Nathalie, tu captures l'esprit!Robert est mignon et un bon clown. c'est dans son sang!
merci Robert Doisneau!!!!!$$$$$$$$$$
You made the right choice. I hope his monocle is worth something when he grows up.
I'm in Maine starting a week-long workshop in street photography.
Jack, the switch to b&w was done in post processing, not on the spot!
Michel B, je maintiens Doisneau.
Chri - quelle présence d'esprit !
Mirae, merci !!!
Bob, I'm sure you're having a ball. Enjoy!
Saisir le bel instant, déclencher!
You are right. Doisneau was looking down ... love it.
