One of the places under attack is close to our house, in the neighborhood of Goncourt. At first we try to take a taxi, but it is impossible to get one, so we decide to take the metro and get off on the next stop, in order to reach our home by foot, despite the police recommending us to avoid that area. Once at home we take our cameras and head to the places that have been attacked, but cops prevent us from doing so. Therefore my choice for the day after is to visit all the locations of the terrorist attacks and concentrate myself on the feelings of the people that showed up in the streets to commemorate the victims, despite a ban on public meetings.

When I was four years old my parents went through a torturous divorce. My father had been using all manner of drugs and was an acute alcoholic. The relationship had been abusive, often to the point of serious violence, and finally my mother had no choice but to flee with me. Eventually my father sobered up and retreated back home to a remote area of the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky. Sadly, he is now so sick and delusional that he thinks nothing is wrong with him, that all the world’s evil and malice lie outside of him. He is a bitter and eccentric recluse.

He did, however, accept a beat-up Leica M3 from Burri. His life changed when he got a first edition of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s “The Decisive Moment” a month later. “When I opened it, I said, ‘My gosh, what is this?’ ” he recalled. “That motivated me. That’s when I became serious.” His fate was sealed when Burri showed him a Swiss magazine that featured his Gaucho pictures. “It shocked me like crazy,” he said. “I knew then I wanted to be a photographer.”
