*Musician in the Rain*
Robert Doisneau (1912-1994), was one of France's most prolific reportage photographers. With his lens he captured moments in time, absurd idiosyncrasity, love and life in the streets and cafe's of Paris. He wrote: "The marvels of daily life are excting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find on the street." We often look to experience other lives through film, television and literature, forgetting that it is out there all around us ... if we just look. I wonder what marvels I will find this weekend ...

Doisneau is amazing, I love his work. The French gave us Cartier Bresson, and Brassai, too!
I love the kissing photo. I suspect the photographer sat in cafes and people-watched for many happy hours!
Stunning photos. I love the way the musician is holding the umbrella over his instrument and not himself.
Doisneau is amazing - a wonderful photographer, a real collector of moments. I love both these pictures too quail and brazen.
Nikon, I am a huge fan of Cartier-Bresson, I went to an exhibition of his work in London some years back and was just enthralled! Brassai I do not know but I will definitely check him out! Thanks!
