starting with Françoise le Guide.Many thanks to Niels at My Camera World for helping me learn about photographing drawings. Look what a good job he kindly did on this one :

NB : Niels, this was photographed in black & white with a full f stop over-exposure, which was alot easier to correct. It’s when there’s a fine wash of delicate colour along with graphite that it becomes difficult (before we even start talking about photographing watercolours).

People watching the spectacles:
