Summary:
"Je le regarde, ce François de la photographie, un peu compact dans son blouson soigneusement fermé, avec sa bonne grosse tête sous sa tignasse coupée en frange. Il y a de la gravité dans son regard ; on sent qu'il ne prend pas les choses à la légère. De la défiance, aussi. Il paraît sur ses gardes. Il veut bien jouer le jeu, puisqu'il n'a pas le choix, mais on sent qu'il organise des défenses. Je lui dois tout, à ce François de sept ans, c'est lui qui détient dans son regard grave et ferme le secret de toutes mes ténacités, de mes obstinations, de mes solidités."--Back cover.
"I look at him, this Francois of photography, a little compact in his jacket carefully closed, with his good big head under his hair cut in bangs. There is gravity in his eyes; we feel that he does not take things lightly. Mistrust, too. He seems on his guard. He wants to play the game, since he has no choice, but we feel he organizes defenses. I owe him everything to that seven-year-old François, who holds in his serious and firm eyes the secret of all my tenacity, my obstinacy, my solidity."
