 “Being a Parisian is not about being born in Paris, it is about being reborn there.” Sacha Guitry

I have now lived in Paris for 50 years. I first arrived on a fall September day in 1975 at the age of 20. From that first day in Paris, and for the following five decades, my life and my world were reborn.

I have never tried to describe life in Paris. I have always been much more interested in feeling it and offering others the chance to feel it as well. During my life in photography, I have documented most of the world’s important news stories and have traveled to over 90 countries. Amid all this that has profoundly impacted my heart, there has been one constant-I have always returned to Paris, my adopted home which has been both a necessary, and essential balm for my soul.

Once in France, I sought out my heroes of French photography, Henri Cartier-Bresson, André Kertész, Edouard Boubat, Robert Doisneau, Josef Koudelka and many others. Most of these people were not only my mentors but became my friends.

The illuminated human spirit of Paris is eternal, and as I have photographed the life of Paris likely as much as anyone of my generation, I am honored to carry on the traditions and to have joined a group of predecessors who have devoted their inspiration and hearts to sharing the intangible and rich spirit of this most amazing of cities.

I share with you here within the pages of this book, a visual testament to all that Paris has offered me, and with these photographs, I am grateful to give back to the city and its people and visitors, my love.
