Apricale -the Conversation


There was a small market taking place in the main square of Apricale. I noticed the man on the left earlier - he was in charge of one of the stalls (see last photo) - and then later, there he was chatting to a friend as they leaned against the ancient walls of the village.

I like his jewelry!

Two friends? I would have said father and son, don't you think?

Jilly having been with you on that day in Apricale makes me admire your talent even more. I hadn't spotted this man on the market square and while I noticed him seated with his friend/son later on, I just couldn't haven taken that portrait, I would have been too shy to blatantly point my camera at him. You did - reasonably discretely - and it worked! Bravo!

Nathalie, I never thought of them as being father and son. Well of course you could well be right. Thanks for kind words, but I'm not always that blatant! I think down here everyone is so used to tourists that I pretend I'm one and just about get away with it!

Three charming shots, but the center one delights me the most. At first I thought the younger man had caught sight of you but he's not looking into the camera; both he and the older man are looking slightly to one side of you. I just love that shot.

This makes me wonder how many generations before these two have sat in the same spot and caught up on the day's events.

Like Sharon, I thought the photo of the two men sitting by the old stone wall looked timeless, except for the baseball cap.

I can't imagine Nathalie shying away from a good shot! Jilly you could probably help me get the remainder of my 100 French Strangers in no time flat.
I love this portrait of these two. Their faces so interesting and you're right,the wall adds.

Yes, you've captured these friends deep in thought.
