Oh, a wonderful choice for black and white, Genie! And lovely to see this favourite spot of yours close up. {And that scarf arrangement certainly does look Parisian.}
Her hands are in such an interesting position and her lips are slightly pursed ... I am thinking he is doing the talking and she is listening. How fun it is to speculate ... Great B&W candid!
Ah! pain-au-chocolate and she's still ever so slim. It must be all those stairs. I've just returned from a month in France and for the first time was delighted to see Paris in it's Autumn colours ... such a treat. She never disappoints!
She was beautiful and graceful and I was tempted to show this photo in color for the light green bamboo and the rich blue door. The black and white seemed less prying (said the paparazzi).
Diane, I do hope that we were not there at the same time and missed meeting each other! It was my first time to be in Paris in October.
Val, I found your story intriguing. When I take a photo like this, I really want to know more about them and wonder if our paths will ever cross again.
Starman, you are very observant... I had missed that detail.
Joe, I started to leave this with no comments on the chance that you would fill in the gaps with a story. Merci!
Un très joli couple... je ne sais pas s'il est légitime ! ils paraissent si heureux!... J'aime plaisanter !
La photo est merveilleuse et elle pourrait être le sujet d'une peinture... si un jour tu me le permets, bien que je ne peigne que d'imagination, celle-ci m'inspire !
Looks like they were enjoying each others company.
ReplyDeleteThe body language suggests she is making some sort of proposal and he is considering it.
ReplyDeleteThe hair, the scarf - yes, definitely a French girl ;-)
ReplyDeleteHello Genie:
ReplyDeleteAll so very civilised. And so very French. Such style.

ReplyDeleteI want to think she's an actress and he is a director and both are married with the wrong person. And you were there to catch the photo.
ReplyDeleteHugs.
