I love antique stores, this one in an alley in Bordeaux happened to have an array of old swords in the front, I asked the proprietor if I could borrow one for a sec, I'd leave them my passport if that would put them at ease, they said that wasn't necessary, and "pas de problèmes" No problem. What resulted between the model and I was a phenomenal series of images in the ally and the cathedral directly behind us.
