"A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there - even if you put them end to end they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds snatched from eternity." Robert Doisneau "The internationally known French photographer Robert Doisneau has been photographing Parisians and their environs for nearly half a century, always with wit, charm, and sensitivity. Weddings, carnivals, brothels, and bars are all familiar settings. The street life is varied and colorful: from day-to-day commonplace activity to the elegance of dining with the elite, lovers in  the park, a ceremonial parade, and a solitary musician performing for an audience of snow-covered peaks; gawking tourists, local children, the privileged, the working class, the bums - nothing is left untouched. Doisneau takes us on a visual trip through Paris, his Paris, for these are the places and the people he has observed and loved for dozens of years. The humor and intimacy of the images are all a product of his fondness for his subjects. He allows us to share in people's lives, the good times and the bad times, without our feeling like we are intruders. These enticing, and often seductive, photographs show us that Doisneau is someone who genuinely likes people as they really are.
