The Louvre, Paris (I guess the man's string tie indicates that this is an American couple).

I took a long view at the picture to find out what is fascinating me the most - Well I think it must be the many pairs in their different kind:

2 Windows - 2 Rings - 2 Blocks - 2 Persons - 2 Shoes - 2 Stripes in the floor


Your B&W folder makes me hungry for more like that!

A very nice shot. Particularly nice texture and it somehow suits the man's expresion perfectly. I've had those sorts of rough days.

Very nice, I love the way tri-x holds the tonality despite being pushed!!

 

The texture in the walls and then the coats give this image a very tactile presence.

 

Excellent photo.

Oh, Tony, this is just gorgeous. I always love your work, yet somehow I'm always surprised with just how good each piece is. the simple lines of the Louvre are perfect for setting off the couple, and a more complicated context or tighter framing on the couple would have killed it. as always, i'm more than impressed.

My favourite things about this picture? I like its geometry, always have. Plus the look on the man's face, his hand just hanging there and the almost flared-out streetlamp in the background.

Every photo in this folder tells a story. Amazing stuff. The texture of good old B&W process, the tonality, is awesome. The old man's melancholic face... is that my uncle, or myself in a decade or two?

While I really enjoy your work generally, I must say that I am partial to your "Cartier-Bresson" type images,having got my start the same way. I wish I had had your abilities when I had those opportunities, lo those many years ago. Makes my heart ache a bit.

But thanks for showing me more of what I had hoped to accompish in those days (the early 70's); it's inspiring even now.
