#900 - Willy Ronis

La Ciotat, 1947
#900 - Willy Ronis

“Most of my photographs were taken in the spur of the moment, very quickly, just as they occurred. All attention focuses on the specific instant, almost too good to be true, which can only vanish in the following one”

 

~ Willy Ronis

 

Willy loved to travel around the South of France on his motorcycle with his wife Anne-Marie. On one of these trips he saw two kids diving from the chains of a ship and created one of his most enduring images. A great example I think of “Chance favors the prepared mind”. Do you agree?
