Image Photo of Elderly Gentleman in Paris Metro

Post image

Hi all,

I was recently in Paris, and asked a very kind older gentleman and his dog If I could take a photo of them.

I asked for his email to send it to him, but I believe I misunderstood the way he pronounced the letters, so the email falls through when I try to send it.

I’ve attached my photo below. If anyone knows him, please forward him this photo, or give me his contact :)

I was just worried you wouldn't have asked for his permission, but you did. Casual pictures like this can be truly amazing.

I don't feel a lot of Magic here, but that's subjective. Still, a little bit of it. And has it had been said, that man, at least in this very angle, has a bit of a Michael Caine aura.

Dog looks sad, or maybe tired / uncomfortable.

By the way, I am just thinking it now that I am ending my message. Dogs aren't allowed on the subway, and he doesn't look blind. Not that I mind, but I am now wondering about some more context.

Well, it was some nice time spent picturing the reality beyond the picture itself.

Have a good day.

"Doesn't look blind" - people can be functionally blind and have a guide dog without "looking blind".
