Good Day Flexers.
 
That place is still the temple of Photography in Paris but many shop closed 
down for the past 10 years.
 
Whatever. I had the chance to meet a very good friend and neighbour of Maisons 
Alfort for the past 20 years in the shop Maison du Leica. His daughter, Camille 
was my pupil at the motorcycle club 20 years ago......
 
That guy claims 5000 Exp/year and he took 3 images of me .....
 
The boulevard shows it's life:

This chap came into the Cafe where I was sipping a beer in. He bought a coffee, 
take away and sat on the bench 10 yards away. Notice the grey dog. That dog, 
although equipped with a muzzle became hyper agressive when the guy was at the 
coffee shop. The dog, attached to the trolley became a fighting warrior againt 
public for 5 feet away. Once the master came back, a word and the dog slept to 
his feet and became indifferent. 
I've got two dogs, fiecely patrolling the garden. But this pair, homeless + dog 
stroke me for the bond they have.
 
I recently 'lost' a neighbour of la Marne river. he lived with two black dogs 
in a tent. We spoke often and became acquaitted. one dog died last X mas, run 
over by the bus and I saw the guy 3 months ago. He gave the other dog to a 
farm, he was dying of throat cancer. I reassured him he did best for his dog. 
Have not seen him since......
 
At the same time, same cafe of the boulevard Beaumarchais, two pluches, 
tourists, ordering their fav:
