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 :-)

Really great.

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!
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

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.
