It was a day intended to street style photography… But God decided to give me a lesson that I need to share with you. I was walking along the Faubourg Sébastopol, in the center of Paris to reach Le Marais, a stylish area, when I saw him, when I saw her.
C’était un jour de nouveau destiné au shooting du style dans la rue… mais Dieu (je vais finir par croire qu’il existe !) avait certainement d’autres ambitions pour moi ce jour là. J’étais en train de rejoindre le quartier du Marais par le Boulevard Sébastopol quand je le vis… quand je la vis…
J’étais si ému par cette vision que je n’ai pu m’empêcher d’immortaliser ce moment de générosité, d’amour et de compassion…
Moi : est-ce que je peux vous prendre en photo s’il vous plait ? Je trouve cette situation tellement belle…
Lui (dans un français approximatif, il devait venir de l’est) : oui, oui, bien.
I was so moved that I couldn’t let them go away without immortalize that beautiful moment of love and compassion.
Me : can I take a photo of you ? It’s so touching.
Him (in a approximate french) : yes, yes.
Mais la grand-mère ne voulait pas être prise dans la photo. Il l’a motiva par son enthousiasme et elle finit par se laisser faire, mais en évitant quand même de regarder l’objectif. Lui, était heureux d’être pris en photo avec elle, comme pour figer pour l’éternité ce moment avec elle..
But the grand’ ma wouldn’t be in the photo. He started to motivate her with enthusiasm as she was reluctant… and succeeded… The grand’ma wouldn’t watch the camera when him was pleased…
Je lui ai ensuite demandé son email pour lui renvoyer la photo… En rentrant le soir, j’ai appelé ma mère pour lui dire à quel point je l’aimais (mes parents vivent dans le Nord)
I asked him for his email to send him the photos… In the evening I called my mother to tell her how much I love her…

Kamel,
What an inspiring photo. I can’t say that I have ever seen a young man walking with his Grandmother here in Melbourne. A beautiful sight. You have a great eye for joyful and inspiring street fashion. Would you mind if I link to you from my Blog?
And thanks for your compliments on my Blog! You are very kind.
Hi!
I have been looking at this and never had words for this just movie like picture. Amazingly cute young man with the lady, it just gets one back to rethink, why we love the things we do, for moments like this. I love it! I makes me miss a lot my grandma from Mexico, the lady has that fashion look like her going on! The boy looks so pretty an effortless!
Cheers!
Linda
Thank you for stopping by my blog and I am pleased you enjoyed it! I would love to occassionally provide my opinions on your photos, I find it all very interesting!
This photo is very sweet, and actually, the first thing that caught my eye is what the Grandmother is wearing, I really like the plaid pattern on her dress!
This photo is so sweet. It makes me realize the time I spend with my Grammy (my nickname for my grandmom) is so precious and I need to value it. I see her once or twice a week when I go into the city for my ballet classes. We eat, drink tea and talk about our family. Thank you for posting this. It’s always great to have a reminder of the important things in life.
Hi Kamel, nice work you’ve got here. I especially like street style, it makes fashion more humane
.

I finally got around to checking out your site, and I am addicted! I read through most of your english entries in a single night, because they are so fantastic. I like the pictures and your stories are always humorous. Adding you to my blogroll for sure.

I didn’t see before this flag. Thanks for information. Now I can understand something:)
This photo is so moving, my favourite!

What a beautiful shot. I wish my grandparents were still around. I wasn’t nice to my grandma in particular when I was a child, I truly regret it. Sadly she passed before I turned 9
Learn to cherish everyone close to you!
This photo is very cute!
I work as a care-taker for old people.. and i have to say that sometimes have got a very nice style too. Sometimes I’m really jealous because of the beautiful cardigans they wear
This picture’s a nice one! My grandma died last year.. so this gives me a reason of thinking of her.

i’ve been reading a few so far but I sure
this is just addictive
I love street fashion and trends, i totally agree
with your whole concept of going out catching what’s
going on in the streets because that’s where the main
style « recipe? », the main dish, is been cooked
An you have a great eye for this as you sure now
but thanks for sharing your vision with the rest of the world ^-^
Hope I can get to Paris one day (I sure will)
