Xavier,
Thanks for asking. I had been walking about looking for shots and at the
end decided to take a glass of wine at one of my favourite wine
bars/cafes in a major strip of cafes and shops in the local area. The
gentlemen arrived at the same time but obviously not together and
positioned themselves in the direct line of sight. I was at one end of a
string of tables, the figure in the background at the other. I don't
know the reality of these people's lives. It struck me as an interesting
street composition so waited for a good moment to capture without being
noticed. This is the only shot I could take. //
They both left shortly afterwards only spending 15 minutes or so there.
Maybe they were waiting for companions, maybe ...
