I carry a camera with me almost all the time, even when it is not convenient. There are also occasions when parading with a camera is asking for trouble. I have been fortunate so far, but there have been some tense moments.
The photos above, taken in the streets of Paris during the day, were not included in those uncomfortable moments. Each encounter is unique, I almost always ask permission to take a photograph and usually abide by the answer. I have missed some very interesting images by asking and being refused. On these occasions, the people in the pictures asked me if I would take their photograph. I was so surprised, at first I did not understand. (it was not the best french accent)
