Sometimes… you just get lucky,
and bump into a face, matured in time;
friendly, inquiring, encouraging,
with eyes that look into your soul.

Thanks for posing! Contact me in case you’d like a hi-res version of your photos, I’ll gladly provide them.

The Marché de Montalivet doesn’t really open at 7:30 as advertised.
But 9:30 onwards this daily morning market of 200+ stalls offers a good dose of weirdness along the usual oysters, bags and jeans. Gems all.
