Today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Robert Doisneau, the famed French street photographer. When I was in High School I worked in an art shop in a mall selling cheap posters of famous art work in cheap frames (and all at 50% off, 50 weeks a year). But I did get to see some good photography and developed a liking for three photographers: Ansel Adams, Bob Talbot, and Robert Doisneau. I liked Doisneau's black and white street scenes of Paris. Although I have never felt comfortable with street photography (too shy I guess), I've always enjoyed Doisneau's images. And when traveling, I try to force myself to get a few.
These are not even in the same class as Doisneau's but my interpretation of the streets of Europe in black and white.

I submitted the crushed bike to a local juried exhibition and it was selected. My first photograph selected for a photography show.
