French Musician

I thought I would share another image from my trip to France with you today. I like this image of this young man and his guitar sitting on the steps of a Catholic Cathedral. I often wonder where he is going or where he is coming from. I like to take photos of people when they are not aware of me. Not because I don't want them to know but because I like to capture them in a natural state. Often when a person is aware that I am photographing them they will act different or try to pose for me. I think an image looks much better when the person is relaxed and acting normal. When I shot this image I was standing behind and shooting over the shoulders of 2 of the girls who I was traveling with. You can see in the lower right corner some fur from one of the girls jackets. I apologize for this, I would have cropped it out if I had noticed it before uploading it. I am to lazy to pull it down and then reload it so you will just have to overlook the distracting lower right corner of the image.
