Thanks for your kind words!

We are grateful to friends all over the world, who support us in those difficult circumstances.

The place where the horrors occured last Friday Nov. 13, 2015, are located very close to the well known Bastille Square (la place de la Bastille), one of the symbols of the French Republic. Boulevard Beaumarchais and Boulevard des Filles-du-Calvaire link Bastille Square to Republic Square (la place de la République), another highly symbolic part of Paris.

Boulevard Beaumarchais, in the last century, used to be the "National Rolleiflex Boulevard", at least this was my feeling when I was a student in Paris in the 1970's and 1980's.
In those pre-Internet times, street shops on the legendary Parisian "Boulevard-de-la-Photo" were stuffed with our beloved medium format cameras & accessories. Needless to mention the number of hours I spent there looking for a dream camera ...

All the best !
