“Vern was one of a kind,” said Bill Schanen III, publisher of Ozaukee Press. “I can’t imagine that anyone could match his combination of technical skill, work ethic and artistic sensitivity. His genius was to use those qualities to record events in the lives of generations of Ozaukee County residents and turn them into compelling images on the pages of Ozaukee Press.”

This spring, after French war photographer Rémi Ochlik was killed during fighting in Homs, Syria, a group of close friends and colleagues felt their obligations to the photographer weren’t complete. Meeting aboard a TGV train on their way to Paris from the World Press awards ceremony in Amsterdam in late April, the group took stock of everything that had happened since Rémi’s death. His photographs had spoken for themselves when exhibited in tribute in Amsterdam. The large circle of friends gathered in his name was a testament to his character; he was always the guy who would make friends sharing a cigarette. But one duty remained unfinished—not a tribute, nor a memorial, but a commitment to continue what was and what should have been in Rémi’s life.

Martine, it is difficult to talk about you with the past tense. The times we spent together remain as drops of light in the greyness of everyday. In Paris, riddled with absence, your long silhouette has joined the shadow of the greatest too early: Kertesz, Doisneau, Boubat, Ronis, and your husband Henri, and I don’t get used to it.
