" I feel like I received the photograph, I didn't take it. If you're in the right place at the right time, then all you have to do is push a button. Being a photographer doesn't come into it. Everything I've photographed exists regardless of me, my role is only to be receptive."
~ Pentti Sammallahti
It must have been 1987, perhaps the following year. Paris in summer. Walking along the Seine behind Notre Dame. I saw the girl first, a book or notebook in her hand, but seemly not reading it. And last the pigeon. That was it… in the right place at the right time. And a lovely river.
