Portrait

France

There are no greater opportunities to snap a few piccies
of unsuspecting folks than at summer fairs. This one was
taken at a horse fair in the South West of France. The
lady is a line dancer and she was enjoying a cigarette
break. I just grabbed the chance to capture her charismatic
presence.

Yes, indeed, these fairs are really full of opportunities - especially the country ones. She reminds me of Jeanne Moreau. All on her face and outfit tell us that she had to struggle through life, and that's it is not over.

Bravo pour la recherche de l'expression, les détails et la fumée de la cigarette !!! V

Ahh...line dancing!! After an exhilarating "Electric Slide", that calls for
that well deserved break with a cigarette puff. What a colorful character!!
Excellent candid, Kees....V!!
