Magnesium Flash? In the Kindergarden? In super security aware Germany? It makes for a hearty laugh...

Bulbs could be just as dangerous, but won't trigger security... :-)

Gary doesn't have that much hair - and my comment remains - really great images!

Wow, these are really good! In the first one I like how the guy in the back seems to be in his "nothing box".

The 19è which has a much younger population, new artists, new trendy cafés and the "Buttes Chaumont" garden :-)
Ah, my favourite park !!  The most beautiful designed Park in the world and perfectly as decor in one of Eric Rohmer's masterpieces: 'La Femme de l'aviateur'.  ;)

Exactly... :-) I guess he was trying to digest what he ate :-)

Thanks a lot, a kind comment from a master of portraits (in colors) :-)

Quite right, I live next to the "Luxembourg" but my daughter and grand daughter are just next to the "Buttes", so it's my grand daughter's "garden, I guess... :-)

Thank you... :-) I had him stuck in a student's spider web as a result of his workshop... ;-)

The couple in "Hippie" camouflage stands out for me again.

Another example of the knockout resolution and clarity the cheap 1.8/50G can deliver.

WOW. keep the coming!

Jacques - I like every single of your portrait shots. "Café picture of a typical Parisien" is my fav. I never shot portraits except few family shots, but your photos motivates me to learn and start shooting.
