Same man as in [link] 'Behind the Cathedral'

Behind Notre Dame, Paris.

This photo brings back memories of a wonderful trip I took to Paris last August where I had my first go at experimenting with street photography (which needs its own category within the photography gallery!). I remember sitting slumped down on the floor against a cold wall waiting and shooting a few frames of this guy. This frame I liked as he just looked peaceful relaxing there reading his paper alongside his bike with the pigeons keeping him company.

Big thanks to +cweeks and ~nikhil for the feature :)

Man with Bicycle by =PhoeniX252 This photograph really made me relax in the middle of making reservations, phone calls and a collapse of 3 feet of tear sheets. Good on him for making me relax during all this B.S. I'm in the middle of right now. I think the pigeons add something as well ... I'm just not sure of what.

Interesting capture... a man reading his papers. The pigeons busy looking for food. And a lonely bicycle

The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn't what you saw at the time. The real skill of photography is organised visual lying.

Thank you, I love the full version which is at the link in the description, but I just loved the composition of the man and his surroundings without the distraciton of Notre Dame behind him too.

Thank you for the lovely comment :)

Thanks, I wish I could have got closer as the quality of the crop isn't all that, but then he would have seen me ;)
