I just finished my little talk on Robert Doisneau, for today's photography 
class. So wonderful, I couldn't stop piling in further images for the class 
to enjoy. Doisneau didn't shoot with a Leica S which seems worth mentioning, 
as we talk about this camera and some mediocre images from it, while Mark 
voices his usual views.
