Hello, Philippe ! I should have a big problem to decide about a favorite !!!! This the advantage of such a gallery, and such good friends as you ;-)About your asking, every picture is allways preceded by a short chat, asking for permission, and often is the source of a larger conversation. In the case of "Man at work", he was a Russian inmigrant I knew in a port in Spain. Despite to have not a very legal situation, he gave me his name, we had a chat more than an hour, and he let me take a lot of pictures. Thanks to him.
and what energes Marc is much more than surreptitious "street shooting"... your work is glorious, and you do make a very strong case for your point of view, that color is part of the soul....
perhaps more later, Steve
And thank to you, Philippe, your feedback is invaluable.

How do you manage to do that? I mean, getting permission from total strangers to pose for you, apparently, and conveying this sense of getting "caught" in their very essence as human beings.Great work.These are masterpieces: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Marc/People+I/Farmer+in+Rajastan.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Marc/People+IV/Not+a+common+face.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Marc/People+III/Country+girl.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Marc/People+IV/Intensity.jpg.html My favourite ? http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Marc/People+II/Men+at+work+I.jpg.html Deserves a capital WOW to the square.

But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!” Mine for a great number of years. Thanks for asking and your compliment.

"If you're photographing in color you show the color of their clothes - if you use black & white, you will show the color of their soul"If you did, good one. If not, do you know who did? Dave
