This photograph is timeless, so many things are working so perfectly here to make it so. The location, the black and white film, the clothing that the gentleman is wearing…beautiful capture.
yes, but for the bar code on the bag, and the plastic trash strewn about, it could be timeless. beautiful shot. oh, and is that a no-smoking sign inside the cafe? also a modern invention, i presume.

True. I totally adore this photo.
It also reminds me of a black-and-white portrait of my grandfather.

shopping bags, particularly plastic bags, ruin more shots
Timeless but for the bag

The plastic bag makes the photo more authentic as in not “styled”.

Far more fashionable than the photo I took at the same spot 14 years ago. (see link above or below, not sure where it’ll show up)
Especially the tired and apparently frustrated gentleman in the oversized brown jacket.

Older people in France seem to have a dignity that is missing in the U.S. Perhaps people value their opinions?
