Winter light in a Paris Street.

On a cold day in Paris, the winter sun broke through late in the afternoon. The buildings were lit up. I wanted a passer-by in the picture, and noticed afterwards that the child and the school sign on the road gave me a context for the picture. This was shot using a my Canon G12 on the green setting, and a little autofix from PSE 11.

Asleep on the job.

I am a great believer in carrying a camera with me wherever I go, because you never know what you are going to find.

In a side street in Paris is a shop/workshop making violins/stringed instruments. I thought this would be a great subject, but on closer inspection, the craftsman was having 40 winks. Inspecting the picture later, I found there was a mirror in the back of the shop, and I can be seen taking the picture.
