Literature

“March 15,1954.Early in the morning I was driving through the Lorraine countryside toward the iron and steel plant in Richemont where work beckoned me. I overtook these kids and then, further on, I braked to let them overtake me. I silently opened my door and catching up with them stealthily I released the shutter.”~ Willy Ronis Willy always told me that this image reminded him of three little penguins separated from their family.
