I sent this photo to John Harper today. I had taken it the day before and it is by no means a Glory Shot. It’s just a photo that made me smile. From quite a distance I saw this woman who had the same gesture as children when they play cops and robbers. Finally, I don’t know if the children still play this, but me in my time (just after the dinosaurs disappeared …), we just had fun like that. To come back to this photo, I took it while I was hanging out near the small market. Surely the end of a robbery that has taken place. A masked woman, as the mobsters can be with her still smoking pistol, goes off with her booty, surely made up of zucchini, tomatoes or other vegetables ! Fortunately, no victims to be deplored. I went to the market and everyone was fine.

Since I take pictures in the streets of Saint-Denis, I almost always hang out in the same place. I tirelessly walk the Maréchal Leclerc street. I can almost say that over 75% of my photos are taken on this major thoroughfare that crosses the city. It is the largest shopping street in Saint-Denis. To be honest, it is not very beautiful. The facades of the stores are not very attractive. But it’s a street that attracts a lot of people. A few stands along this street occasionally attract people and offer some interesting opportunities.
