A young girl playing on a swingset in the Tuileries Garden Paris with an occasional helpful push from her grandfather. A very simple image, it's one of my favorites. In the midst of the swarming tourists and towering monuments, the girl was oblivious to it all, her play was her only interest. I sat on a nearby bench and chatted with a local for a while and we watched the kid play. After a while, I casually pulled out my camera while still talking, and snapped this one shot and put the camera away. I'd actually forgotten about it until a month later when I got home, but was very pleased I'd snapped it. Maybe it's the memory of the pleasant day or the girl I was talking to that makes it special - whatever the reason, it makes me feel at ease...
