“There are days when the technique of an aimless stroll or destination works like a charm, flushing out pictures from the non stop urban spectacle"
~ Robert Doisneau
It is 1950, post-war life after many years of pain and despair is slowly coming back to “normal”.
Robert along with his friends and colleagues Bresson, Ronis, Boubat, Sabine Weiss and others ushered in the new golden era of photojournalism. Robert in real life was just as charming and humorous and tender as so many of his images are. We were having lunch one day and after the lunch was over we strolled together for an hour or so and I observed the way he observed. It was a walking “master class” in how to see and I felt so honored to be invited along. One of my most treasured memories of working with all these greats.
