About this gallery

This gallery watches everyday life: friends, couples and passers-by, caught candidly rather than posed.

One figure returns across several images, absorbed in reading his newspaper, "Lettres Françaises", in a slightly old-fashioned mood. Elsewhere, life happens in groups: friends gathered over coffee, a phone and playing cards on a table in a corner of a park, a livelier scene around a concert. Couples appear too, arm in arm in a park or sitting by a river; friends laugh together, in black and white. In the countryside, a grandmother sits by a window with her newspaper, an apple within reach. In Spain, a candid moment captures a sunlit garden, pink flowers and a fountain; in Villandry, children cycle past a slate-roofed manor. In the evening, friends watch the sunset from camping chairs on a hilltop, and fireworks burst over Foz, in Galicia.
