African American expatriate Emil Cadoo (1926-2002) who in 1960 emigrated to Paris to escape racism and became a celebrated photographer of erotic art and double exposures illustrating dust jackets for Grove Press and portfolios for the Evergreen Review. He is taking a picture using a Pentax camera, a reasonably priced good camera much sought after by serious but impecunious photographers. He is gripping the camera with both hands to hold it steady whilst taking a long time exposure in the dim light of the cafe. He would sit in Cafe le Conti with a group of other Left Bank photographers to discuss their day's work and take pictures of their friends and people in the cafe, rue Buci, St-Germain-des-Pres, Left Bank, Paris 6, France, 1960.
