  5. Great shot! I love the the B&W and perfect tone.
    Meg had keep telling me to take a shot of waters, and I was saying that "we have to go somewhere a waiter is working". It wasn't happened in time and not yet...

  13. He may be waiting now, but I bet later in the day it will be the patrons who are waiting for him!

  15. Maybe even the credit crunch has reached Monaco. Looks great in monochrome.

  16. Very nice! Waiters have to wait a lot - wait for the customers to arrive, wait for the customers to make a decision, wait for the food, wait for the customers to finish eating, wait for their tip ...

    I like the b&w, too!

  17. But how many of us have spent how much time waiting for the waiter? I must say, though, that I've had less trouble with that in France than in the US. French waiters are professionals, more often than not. In the US, they're mostly looking for the next job.

  20. Great composition in B&W, the geometry of his body and the white sleeve make it superb! Thank you so much for your kind words.
