Original – A man at a Newsagent's shop in Paris (notice the postcards)

Reason: Brought to my attention by Haffy. Lovely composition, shows just how cramped these places feel, and all of the covers overwhelm viewers (like in real life they can often overwhelm customers). Covers are all de minimis, so no copyright issues.

Support - and after this he will go with his newspaper, sitting down to enjoy a cup of coffee in a café or at a pâtisserie, take a croissant and a read it slowly and nicely, occasionally petting a dog that goes by... Hafspajen (talk) 03:32, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Good photo of a blind man in a newsagents (white stick, dark glasses- "browsing" eh?) Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 11:48, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Xanty you evil guy, you destroyed my nice novel. Though, I have to say he is looking a bit to much - he is obviously looking at something. Could be just an ivory stick ... Hafspajen (talk) 13:06, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

His left eye is missing as well. I think he's lost… his dog's done a runner. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 14:30, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Xanty, all this art collecting is making people cynical, I always said... . Can't you see how wise and gentle he is? Hafspajen (talk) 17:14, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he's being a gentleman and trying to ignore the lady with the gaffer tape on her nipples- C'est une rentrée hot hot hot!!! Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 08:34, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Had to be a blind person- any sighted Parisian would have attacked the photographer. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 18:13, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
