From Phil:\u00a0 “These 3 shots were all taken in southern France.\u00a0 The actor was portraying Nostradamus, a fore teller of the future; he lived from 1503 to 1566.\u00a0 The actor performed before a crowd of maybe 100 in the town square of Isle sur la Sorgue, a small town in the Provence region, on a warm fall evening.\u00a0 To say that he was animated would be an understatement.\u00a0 The couple, who I think were homeless but I was never sure, sat along a street in the same town during the day, begging or looking daggers at passersby.\u00a0 Then at the end of our trip, we spent a few days in Nice.\u00a0 One afternoon after exiting an art gallery, we found a group of men playing the game of boules in a nearby park.\u00a0 With a telephoto lens, I could not resist trying to capture the intensity of their play.\u00a0 I think they may have noted my presence but did not care.”<\/span><\/h4>\n
