Re: PESO - The Coffee Shop Portraits
Visited yesterday The Israel Museum in Jerusalem. They have very interesting new acquisitions on display in their photo collection. And the exhibition of modern design was most interesting as well. Why am I saying all this? Because, Paul, methinks the second picture could easily decorate on of the walls there... It is simple but it is still exceptionally good photograph to remember these times by.

As they approached the turn at the end of the field my brother raised his camera. The farmer leaped off the plow. No, not me, please.

Re: PESO - The Coffee Shop Portraits
Thanks David. Yes, they're a bit flat -- illuminated by a large window.

Yes, I wasn't too pleased with that chair back in the frame. But I've included out of focus foreground objects in other pics of this series, and I'm not sure that they aren't a plus when taken collectively. They demonstrate that the perspective is limited to the view from one chair in the shop. But perhaps I'm just rationalizing a shortcoming:-).
