When dining al fresco in Montmartre, one is constantly accosted by artists of one sort or another for portraitures. This young lady and her friend at the table next to ours were in the city for the weekend from elsewhere in France and decided to contract this street artist for portraits of both of them. Interestingly enough, both young ladies engaged in talks with my granddaughter who was sitting next to me when I took this "portrait" and one has become a very good email friend. Paris, France; September, 2015.

I'm always amazed at how chance meetings can result in solid friendships (the same happened to us earlier this year... but not in another country... your granddaughter must be thrilled). That's a beautiful young woman (further explained by the look on his face) and it must have been a simple matter for him, framing her face with that long, straight hair. A terrific candid photo, Ted. Now in my desktop wallpapers folder.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Your main subject is a great moment capture but I also see a bonus capture in the family at the table across the paved road or walkway. Notice the woman is posing with child.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.

See by your image that the street artist wasn't the only one who has portrayed this beautiful lady, Ted, ☺ !

A true street shot well done.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
