Great series indeed. Complete with the interesting history around it.  Love them all especially the shots of Peck, Kennedy and the Union Station. And the very nice Football-photo. 

Is the cat actually black? or grey?

Thank you John Geerts. If I recall correctly, it was a dark gray cat. My philosophy is that if you shoot enough, you're bound to get a few keepers.

Love the bakers truck. Funny how that takes us back to things of the past  - with fond memories

Thank you Elsa. Fond memories are the best.

Gary, may the next one be a school bus :)

WTF? ... LOL.  Sorry Jakov no school bus, (but I did look to see if I had any).

Ah... The era when shooting kids was a "natural" feat, nowadays I wonder how a Doisneau could have escaped the wrath of angry mothers (and for what cause, good grief !).

Love the kids and the dogs very much. You have a great eye and a fast shooting hand. I also fond a corresponding shot in my collection. A very nice grocer's family.

I need a workshop on presentation.
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.
