Doisneau, another French icon – Notre doisneau national

Pas besoin de présenter Doisneau à mes compatriotes. Je passe donc directement à la version Anglaise:0)

    Qui n’a pas déjà reçu un petit mot d’amour écrit à l’envers d’une carte postale du « Baiser » de Doineau ? Doineau est à l’amour comme un poisson dans l’eau !

      Absolument!!!

  4. Love these because they are totally unstructured poses. They catch people “In the Act” of living. Those are always my favorite shots!
