The Antique Dealer
Once a week in Menton there's an antique/bric-a-brac market outside the main food market and on the Place aux Herbes.
Here's one of the dealers taking advantage of a sofa until he hopefully sells it.
(This was taken in November with my old camera - the Lumix FZ18)

j'aime bien la deuxième photo, voila u n beau métier ;) très zen....
Excellent portrait in two times, with a nice background.
Agree that this is a nice profession. I'd enjoy rooting around for antiques, stuff in people's houses that they don't want or have to sell, but naturally I don't know the valuable from the ordinary stuff. I just would look for what I like.
Excellent portraits.
He reminds me one of Belmondo's characters under cover. Second photo is a story in itself.
Love the hat, and it looks as though he was too tired, or uninterested, in shaving. It's a wonderful candid shot, Jilly.
I don't think he'll be selling that sofa any time soon!HA
Great portrait Jilly. I found some of the antique dealers to be a little hardnosed!:)
I'd like to spend my days like this :-)
Jilly ! That portrait ! You've done it again ! Don't you dare give up that little gem of Lumix FZ18, it's just too good !
(all right I know it isn't the camera but the photographer! Have you made any better portraits with your new camera yet?)
Yes, super portrait!
Nathalie - my first thought was to say no - no portraits have been as good as those with the FZ18 but then I remembered some I have taken with it, so I'll reserve judgement for the moment. the lens on the new camera is definitely of far better quality but obviously it's not such a long zoom. It's a question of learning what the new camera does well and truly I'm getting there. I won't give up the FZ18 tho. thanks Nathalie.
As long as he dosen't fall asleep in the sofa......
A perfect portrait Jilly and funny circumstances.
Great image...his frown lines tell the story..I think he knows it may be a slow sell!
What eyes he has. You've caught something so deep and complex in this portrait.
