Another from my wander around the streets of Chios town. While the rest of the family dive into the shops, I stayed outside, and watched life happen around me.

Like this example .The expression on that womans face while she talks to the local priest is priceless .

Down on the street

Another from Chios town. This shopkeeper was sorting bags of what looked like millet seeds. While I watched him this old guy wandered into the shot.

Blah,Blah,Blah!

I saw this old lady collect her bread from a van which has just driven off. She shouted what sounded like some encouragement to the lad washing his jeep.

The sun caught her shoulder just as I pressed the shutter. That made the shot for me.

Masked.

I’m back. I’ve been on my holidays . I have had a couple of weeks in Greece together with my family. However that isn’t so blog relevant. I thought I’d pick up where I left off which was at the National museum in Amsterdam. This shot and the previous in the series were taken on the last 20 mins of opening time .That’s all I had left by the time I’d got there from the Leica Pop-Up store. Still It will not be my last visit to Amsterdam I’m sure.
