Paul, This is a French word and I do know the meaning. I have no issue with the picture, but I find the title of "French "coolness" " kind of xenophobic and offensive for this shot. Kind Regards 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted June 30, 2023 Share #8 Posted June 30, 2023 Well, David can answer for himself, but I’m sure any negative meaning was not meant - I read it as a positive comment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis, I have far more important things on my mind than to enter a dialogue with you. I suggest that you do not read my posts or comment and I shall reciprocate. 2 hours ago, LocalHero1953 said: Well, David can answer for himself, but I’m sure any negative meaning was not meant - I read it as a positive comment. Thank you Paul. First up, Samy and I have a friendship that has evolved over the years and I think that he would laugh at the idea that I was xenophobic, I have photographed Samy on many occasions, one not posted on this forum, has won a prestigious award with the British Journal of Photography. The area where most of my photography takes place is the most racially and ethnically diverse in the UK, and I believe that what I do is a celebration of that diversity, I'm quite ethnically diverse myself. Many people who have agreed to be photographed have African or Afro-Caribbean origins, some are gay, some are transgender. Ask any of them if I am xenophobic and they would think the idea preposterous. A couple of years ago, I photographed a young African-American woman, she wanted to introduce me to her mum. I've lived and worked in France and likewise any of my colleagues would have found the notion that I was xenophobic ridiculous. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
