Ventimiglia - the Look
Copyright 2009 Menton Daily Photo. All rights reserved
It's 10.30 a.m at a restaurant opposite Ventimiglia's Friday market. Empty tables. Too early for lunch.
No one notices these two as everyone is busy shopping.

Well, it's too early for lunch, but while you're waiting....
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this photo!
Better being there than in the market !
ReplyDeleteBlack and white, like salt and pepper on the table...Complementary.
No one notices... but you of course, dear Jilly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful wonderful portrait!
How many stories could we start with such an image ?
beau b&w de ce couple
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. She looks like she'd rather be somewhere else or she's thinkig about a pair of shoes she'd like to buy.
ReplyDeleteNice capture.
ReplyDeleteIt's NEVER too early for...
ReplyDeleteI'm reading her face as Karen does. If this is a relationship I have my doubts as to its longevity. As a photograph, it's very very good.
ReplyDeleteWhat Nathalie said!
ReplyDeleteSuperb photo Jilly. Very good.
ReplyDeleteYes she definitely looks like she wants to be somewhere else!! I would swap..!!
ReplyDeleteBut we noticed. she appears to be off in another thought.
ReplyDeleteJilly,
ReplyDeletegreat photo. surprised no one has commented on the interesting patterns in the back drop yet.
i think it's clear your followers like pics of people every now and then, the comments stack up quicker!
i still like the shot of the old man in his shop doorway in the menton harbor.

She appears to be remembering something as he speaks to her....
ReplyDeleteI find the salt and pepper to be an interesting contrast to the couple in the photo. The pepper is on his side while the salt is on her side. Along with the fact the two spices are in physical contact with one another.
Very nice photo Jilly.
But you did, and she sees you. My impression of her face is that the embrace is more for his benefit than hers.
ReplyDeleteSuperb shot, Jilly, especially with your choice of B&W. I like what Catherine and Drew said as well.

Because they are not supposed to be there together !!!!
Hahahahahaha!

You naughty voyeur, you!
ReplyDeleteAll in fun, great photo!
I think she's caught sight of you, Jilly.
ReplyDeleteNice shot!
ReplyDeleteLove is wonderful.
Great Photo,
ReplyDeleteI imagine a couple of old lovers living in other cities and met in secret in Ventimiglia.The pleasure of life....
Revisiting this shot after a long time (thanks to Link Within!) and it strikes me how this echoes the famous Klimt painting a bit, just their positions and the tilt of her head. He sees you, too, through her hair.
ReplyDeleteAh, love!
