Le Garcon, 2010

It was one of those late nights that happen without expectation. Finding myself at La Rotonde in the 14e arrondissement of Paris, the city was quiet and there were only a few patrons remaining in this brasserie. The late night lights create a warm glow that contrasts with the waiter's black-and-white uniform. The speckled reflections on the window are reminders of the barrier that separated the outside from the inside and him from me.
