I was surprised by the photo of Hermans in the museum: there are very few photos of him when he's not completely in control of his surroundings.

In France he was completely unknown. Later he moved to Brussels - he was very popular in Belgium - but I've never heard he had any problems there.

I've been often with him in The Netherlands - walking around - but also there he had never any problems with the "ordinary people".

He was a big Leica-fan.

A trike rider rushing 6 meter long steel beams through a busy market. What could possibly go wrong? December 2020. Fuji X-H1 - XF 2.8/16-55 @ 20mm.
 


Trucks offload fresh produce from the Central Highlands of Vietnam in the periphery of the Ba Chieu Market in Saigon, and then this man pulls
a trolley half a mile into the central market area. He is wearing a mask in the 32C heat and extremely high humidity. A tough guy. December
2020. Fuji X-H1 - XF 2.8/16-55.
