You can see the approach in the shape of the fence (and by their knees).

Why this woman is wearing a newspaper on her head, I don’t know. She obviously had a good reason, because she kept on doing it for a long time. I should have filmed it. Pages that waft up and down in the wind.

Sharp corners = sharp photo

When I saw the paper corners hanging loosely like this I felt the need to fold them, make them sharp and clear.

Maybe she should turn around while the man is writing down her address.

I tried to ask him if he wanted to keep his paintbrush parallel to the pencil behind his ear. At first I wanted him to do this while painting, but it didn’t work. Then we tried it apart from the act. It’s a pity he’s laughing.

I met a man and a woman who were resting on a bench. The woman had short feet. 
They told me they always took the stone along in their car whenever they went on a outing. That way she could always sit with her feet on the stone on the ground

When I saw this, I thought this could be a start of a new series. Jackets who perfectly matching the distance between the head of man and pavement. The following weeks I saw many men with jackets sitting on the pavement, but never saw it back again in this state of perfection.
