Jean-Claude Marguerite sends us this portfolio accompanied by this text: At the beginning of the 2000s, I lived a stone's throw from the Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris.

Mick Jagger on a London street in 1965. Mick has always been able to mingle with the crowd without attracting attention.

Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Chronicle In this summer holiday period, it seems to me appropriate to tame the new environmental atmosphere that smokes out our fad: Photography. How are the different types of technology and the various systems of communication evolving to reach, to seduce and to satisfy the unconditional photographers? Technically, there is not much to say despite the uninterrupted flow of innovations, each more essential than the other, which…
