Paul (the man in the photo) said to me over drinks later that night, "Damn, I was pretty sure she left town after that night and I'd never see her again. It was awful! And suddenly I meet her on the way to the seaside, it ruined my day."

She fed him intently at first, and then when he startled one of the screaming children and spread his wings to fly away, she started laughing. I showed her the photo and asked what she was so amused by and what his name was that I wanted to write it down. Her name was Valeria and she said she thought pelicans were the most beautiful animals and brought her happiness, so she came here often.

A bored girl relaxes in front of a boutique with luxury lingerie at noon. Just a few blocks away, a slum begins. I was sitting a little further down, drinking a beer. She barely moved the whole time.

Camila, one of many local tattoo artists, leaves for the Saturday vegetable market on the outskirts of town. The day before, I picked out a theme with her, but I don't care, she doesn't even answer my greeting. Never mind.

It's noon, I'm sitting on Fifth Street, sweating, having a salty beer and watching an older couple a few tables away. The man keeps shouting something, the woman is stoically silent, provoking. I'm sorry I don't speak French, I couldn't understand a word he said.

A while later I showed them the photo, they laughed and I asked them where they were coming from and where they were going. The date didn't work out, they went elsewhere to have fun. Even the rose Gita leaves lying next to the ashtray as she says goodbye and sends a kiss through the air.

I was sick that morning, too much cider, and heading from Leicester square to Waterloo. There was a couple opposite me, after a while they got into an argument, I don't know what about, the tube line was old and loud. They carried on, same destination, but at least the girl got off.

I end up spending a whole week in this town, and every day in the early evening I take the same route to the stand to buy a few salty beers and a few pieces of quesadillas, and I always pass a mother with a cigarette in her hand, who is constantly giggling at God knows what, and her little daughter playing at her feet.

He lives in the apartment above the bar and today he has no babysitter, so he comes downstairs and enjoys a glass of wine and a cigarette. She told me the baby's name, but I didn't understand it, or maybe I forgot it right away, I don't know.

A child tired from many hours of travel to the sea. I felt sorry for her, I remember when I was a kid and adults would get annoyed with me because they had different priorities than me, so I let them talk me into going with her instead of unpacking.

I have no idea what happened. I was sitting in the square, eating tapas, drinking delicious beer and I wanted to take a picture of this contradictory trio. I didn't speak Spanish at the time, so I'll never know what the woman yelled at me, but eventually she threw down her cigarette and walked away, so it was fine.

I took a picture of him just as we were passing the Latimer Road stop, and then asked him how he was and where he was going. He said he was hungover and was going straight to work to celebrate his birthday.

I like dogs better than people. And these two were great. One was named Pog, I don't remember the other's name. Neither of them wanted to be on a leash. I understand them well.

On Sunday morning, as I look for a place to have breakfast before continuing my journey, I meet a priest lost in the tangle of the tracks and I think to myself that today's service was probably not so good.

That woman was really beautiful. I turned on my heel in the middle of the pedestrian crossing and watched her for a while, but then she met up with her friends and together they headed for an early evening picnic in Covent garden.

Judging by the uniforms, they were students at the prestigious Eton college. They looked tired and bored. I rode with them for maybe ten stops, I could have sworn they never said a word.

Midsummer night, stormy celebrations, two women taking selfies and me taking pictures of them. One is flattered, the other not so much, but after a while she introduces herself as Veronica and tells me to go have fun with them. I don't. I can't.

I was standing, smoking and waiting for my friend, and there was a romance going on next to me. Two older women were competing for the attention of a man on an electric replica Harley Davidson. So I took their picture and was satisfied that people liked each other.
