“Photography will have to triumph everywhere. »

“Dear friends, your letter touches me and amuses me at the same time. I feel much too young for such honor! We must be wary of glory , it is heavy to bear and it risks putting a damper on creative works. However, thanks to Trémois for having this thought, photography will have to triumph everywhere. Regarding my books Nude theory is the Best Nudes (Japan), they are on sale in Geneva, Galerie Conan, 3 rue St-Léger, see Monsieur Boissonnas. For the collection, always at your disposal...! Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year from all of us. Lucien. »
