Am I doing something wrong? Aram From: Bille Xavier F. Sent: Monday, June 16, 2014 1:47 PM To: leicareflex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [LRflex] Boulevard Beaumarchais, Paris 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: http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/June14/DSCF4545_dev_3.JPG 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: http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/June14/DSCF4550_dev.JPG Happy hours! Fuji X20, my Leica III of the moment. #----------------------------------- From : Xavier F. BILLE mail : hot_billexf@xxxxxxxxxxx Maisons Alfort - France
