Premium Photo Competition 2013 Q1 : Entry Number 512

A charming man and a single lady? We don't know, the possibilities are many, but the photo is very interesting. Well captured.

Thanks a lot for this Mark of Excellence, I was really thrilled when I had the news! I’m Vincent Gussemburger, from Paris (France). This picture was taken in Camogli (Italia), a beautiful little town on the Mediterranean Sea, near Genova. These two persons were part of larger group of fishermen, who were working on their nets, while cracking jokes between them, and chatting with women who were playing cards. I remember being mesmerized by these peoples, by their realness, their ruggedness. I stood near them, for 15-20 minutes, unable to understand more than 3 words that they were saying, but enjoying this moment nonetheless. And when I felt that the time was right, I took a couple of pictures. This one was taken with a Panasonic GX1 and a 20mm lens.
