Your pictures seem less crowded than I would expect it from the big city.

Do you choose the shooting times such or do you wait till people and cars leave the frame?
A bit of the two, as I stroll around when most are at work and then I tend to wait for that car in the middle to get away... :-)

That would be a great idea, but that book is more of a Sisyphus thing, as I have always new pictures of course, with new software to develop them and so on !!! But if I happen to go to the States, I'll head to California for sure... :-)

Some more centered on the Seine river...

Nautical police playing "cow-boy" to impress the young ladies... :-) (this is manual focus with the long throw of the 180mm !)

It's a very battered one but very efficient, works perfectly :-)

Thanks a lot... :-) I believe that those very mundane pictures can by the sheer fact of quantity, can have some ways of getting through ones mind... :-)
