I am thinking it was the same person .. when I visited Venice a few years back I began to think I had stumbled into that oddly wonderful Donald Sutherland/Julie Christie movie 'Dont Look Now' .. I kept 'running' into this odd man dressed as if he was on his way to play (or audition)in Phantom of the Opera ..
What struck me was that I remember that place in Montmartre - and Jean Renoir describes it, I believe, in his book Renoir, My Father, as being quite near where they used to live, near Allee des Brouillards!
Oh my. Is that really the same man? How bizarre. Love the angle of the photos, though.

ReplyDeleteI am sure it's not the same guy, but I realized the moment he sat down that I was going to get a very similar shot.
