Street Reality
Often, when I've taken a batch of photos in a day, maybe I'll find one or two I like, but I think of the rest as rejects. But I've learned it's good to go back later - much later - and you'll find photos that perhaps have a meaning, albeit sad, like this one. (Bari, Puglia June 2014.)

Souvent, alors que j'ai pris beaucoup de photos dans une journée, il m'arrive de n'en trouver qu'une ou deux qui me plaisent et je pense que les restes sont les rejets. Pourtant, j'ai appris qu'il est intéressant d'y revenir plus tard - beaucoup plus tard - car peut-être on trouve des photos qui ont un sens, quoique triste, comme celle-ci.

Injured Doggy
The pedestrian street in Menton: The fluffy dog in the lady's arms was injured in an accident but has been stitched up and is now on the mend. You can see another photo of her on Riviera Dogs.

La rue piétonne à Menton: La chienne pelucheuse dans les bras de la dame a été blessée dans un accident, mais elle a été suturée et elle est maintenant en voie de guérison. Vous pouvez voir une autre photo d'elle sur Riviera Dogs.

Alessandro
Last Friday I attended the vernissage of Rudy Boyer's excellent exhibition of street photography.Bibliotech Municipale in Menton until 31st October.
Lots of local photographers, especially street photographers, were there but the best treat for me was to finally meet Alessandro Prato Atko. Alessandro is from Ventimigla, just across the Italian border but now lives in Imperia. I have followed Alessandro's photography for a long time and it was so good to finally see him.
Look at his face! Here you see a photographer absolutely bursting with enthusiasm and love of what he does. Do take a look at his Facebook page.

Vendredi dernier, j'ai assisté au vernissage de la superbe exposition de photographie de rue de Rudy Boyer. Bibliothèque Municipale de Menton jusqu'au 31 Octobre.
Beaucoup de photographes locaux et en particulier les photographes de rue étaient là mais, la meilleur plaisir pour moi, c'était de rencontrer enfin Alessandro Prato Atko. Alessandro est de Vintimille, de l'autre côté de la frontière italienne, mais il vit maintenant à Imperia. J'ai suivi la photographie d'Alessandro pendant depuis longtemps et c'était tellement agréable de le voir enfin.
Regardez son visage! Ici vous voyez un photographe absoluent éclatant d'enthousiasme et d'amour pour ce qu'il fait. Regardez sa page Facebook.

Two Hats
Love the hat! But what does he do with it when he's on his motorbike?

J'aime le chapeau! Mais qu'en fait-il quand il est sur sa moto?

L'Amour
Day trip to Portofino:
When Italians want to hug or kiss, they do so, oblivious to tourists who are photographing them.
~
Lorsque les Italiens ont envie de s'embrasser, ils le font sans se soucier des touristes qui les photographient.

Benidorm in Menton
Time for a gossip on a street corner in Menton. Note the Benidorm bag and the poster for The Los Angeles Gospel Choir who were to sing in the cathedral of Monaco. The dog has given up...

C'est le moment pour un bavardage au coin d'une rue à Menton. Notez le sac Benidorm et l'affiche de la Chorale " Los Angeles Gospel " qui chantait dans la cathédrale de Monaco. Le chien a renoncé...

Across the tables ...
The Vulcano is a great place to eat good, reasonably priced food, always freshly cook and friendly service and the chef/owner, Driss, who always smiles. No wonder this diner is happy as she chats to him.

Le Vulcano est un restaurant formidable pour déguster de bons plats, à un prix raisonnable et toujours fraîchement cuisinés, où le service est amical avec le chef/propriétaire, Driss, qui sourit toujours. Pas étonnant que cette dame est heureuse en bavardant avec lui.
