"The hen kept on the leash" would be better, I guess. "Laisse" sometimes means "to leave", but also "leash".
ReplyDeleteThanks, this makes sense. I've changed the translation in the post.
DeleteI think "The kiss on the Pont des Arts" is a photo taken in 2006 by a Flickr user who wanted to imitate Doisneau's style.
ReplyDeleteYou're right - I missed that! It's a pretty good hommage to Doisneau.
DeleteAnyway, thank you for your posts, I adore all of your blogs about photos and paintings!
