This man introduced himself as the Earl of Menilmontant. Told us many great stories of his prime years. Even sang us a song. Earl in the heart, he was. (click on picture to enlarge)

Nice shot. I like your blog. I just started a paris street photograph blog also, you should check it out!
What a character and portrait! Nice royal blues in his outfit.
seems like a very intersting fellow. great portrait!
if he was something great, he should have played in the Woody Allen – Midnight in Paris :-))
Only a colorful cavalier like Earl can take champagne like him.

Sans vouloir faire ni mon pédant ni mon casse-burettes, je pense que Monsieur le Comte, au vu de son verre, sirote plutôt un petit blanc d’Alsace que du Champagne. Tout cela est à l’est de Paris, j’en conviens, mais le nectar n’à pas la même saveur.
Tout ça pour dire… que de belles photos ici !
Longue vie au Comte, longue vie à Yanidel !
Nice shot! He looks like a man full of character. What aperture did you use, by the way?
Thanks Joanie, it was F1.4, cheers.
Superbes photos yanidel, j’aime beaucoup… bonne continuation !
