I always try to get the candid picture first, without interacting with the subject. But then, I usually smile and will say something nice or funny. 95% of the times it works and people open up for a portrait. Two different kind of pictures, a smile apart. (click on pictures for high res)

Have you ever noticed how kids on the edges of a group picture try to squeeze themselves in the frame ?
I should have told them I had my 35mm lens on … ;)

Have you ever noticed how close from one another are the tables of restaurants in Paris ? Yet, in most cases, it doesn't mean you are any closer that if you were world apart (click on picture for high res)

While my main issue right now is lack of time to shoot due to our new settlement in Argentina, I do admit that I miss Paris a lot in terms of photography. Rosario is fine and there are a lot of opportunities, but Paris corresponds more to my vision of street photography. Though I know it will still be long time before we go there again, I think we will do our best in the future to spend a least a few weeks each year in the city of Lights. But before that, we must succeed in our new adventure here in Argentina. And then, maybe the dream situation of a having a life split between the two continents could eventually happen. Wishful thinking I guess.
Meanwhile, I'll post some new picture of my Paris archive now and then.

Though probably much more tasty, a cone will never match the Eiffel tower in elegance. (click on picture for high res)
Note : as you might have noticed, I haven't posted any pictures for the last two days. It had been a long time I had not broken the daily routine, yet we are still struggling to get a good and constant connection wherever we are. And since we took a long weekend by the river … well, internet could wait for once.

I have absolutely no time to shoot since we are preparing our new home. Lot's of cleaning, painting, fixing and so on. Until we settle in, I therefore plan to keep on posting pictures from our latest Paris and Venice trips.
