A woman walking a small dog across a Manhattan crosswalk, captured beside a reflective glass wall that creates a perfect mirror image of both walker and dog. The dog pauses to sniff its own reflection as evening traffic and pedestrians blur in the background.

I'm attending Les Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles this week. It's a treat to spend a week immersed in such an impressive variety of photo exhibitions and events.
The light in the Palais de l’Archevêché yesterday was gorgeous.
An older man in a straw hat and pink shirt views a wall of photographic prints at the Palais de l’Archevêché during Les Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles, with golden sunlight streaming through translucent curtains. Two women view a photographic exhibition at the Palais de l’Archevêché during Les Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles, one crouching to look closely at a small framed print, with warm afternoon sunlight filtering through sheer curtains. A woman in a patterned dress and blue shoulder bag studies a display of documentary photographs at the Palais de l’Archevêché during Les Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles, illuminated by soft light through tall windows.
