"“One of the many lessons I learned from Atget’s work has become a fundamental principle of my life-nothing is ever the same. He often returned to specific locations over and over to find fresh inspiration and new subject matter and now I do the same. I gravitate to the pertinent and concise words of the poet Rumi: “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love.It will not lead you astray.”"
~ Michael Kenna
France and Michael have been in a long and productive love affair for decades, which still happily continues. They were made for each other right from the beginning.
