Description

I spotted this guy taking in the sun on a beautiful day in Montmartre, Paris. I was taken by the shadow he cast as, oblivious to all around him, he carried on his electronic conversation.

Nice work, Nikki, with seeing it and with the angle, the shadow, the story, the black and white, and the moment. Like it a bunch. I never have quite connected with the rage to text, but he's quite obviously caught up in it all. #8732027
