J'aime les librairies anciennes pour l'odeur des livres, l'ambiance qui y règne et les bonheurs qu'on y trouve souvent. Belle idée d'en avoir immortalisé une !

Nice shot. The man doesn't look thrilled to be getting his photo taken.

If he's the salesperson he doesn't seem keen on a sale!

A splendid study of this elderly shopkeeper. He looks as though he's been sitting there for decades. I'd love to see this in B&W.

Interesting candid! Lovely book store that one can easily spend an entire day here... but the shopkeeper might have seen them all.:-)

Wonderful capture, the person in the store, perhaps the owner looking old and tired but reading which ties into the booktore
