Un éclaboussure d'humour ? (Weekend Street/Reflections # 233)

 

Paris, France

On a sunny March afternoon at a café, François' wife and daughter were lost in their coffee chat—until François plopped a newspaper hat on his head and belted out, "Vive la France, la Bastille est prise!" Raising his glass, he sloshed water everywhere, dousing his wife’s arm and soaking the table. His daughter turned beet-red, while his wife snapped, "Slow down, Mr. Hanriot—it’s only March!"

Dans un café un après-midi ensoleillé de mars, la femme et la fille de François étaient absorbées par leur discussion autour du café—jusqu’à ce que François pose un chapeau de journal sur sa tête et lance à pleins poumons : "Vive la France, la Bastille est prise !" En levant son verre, il éclaboussa d’eau partout, trempant le bras de sa femme et inondant la table. Sa fille devint rouge comme une tomate, tandis que sa femme lança : "Ralentis, Monsieur Hanriot—nous ne sommes qu'en mars!"

"Street photography is a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge."
