Both pictures taken with my emergency camera of the time - a little Oly SP320 - as I ran out of film for my Rolleiflex. Sadly, the battery died in it just a few minutes later - some emergency camera, some preparer of emergencies! Expect the unexpected, and all that!!! Had I known that I was going to visit HCB's apartment, I would have not chimped through my film as quickly that morning. But, there we are. Some things just can't be photographed due to circumstances, and that why we've memories to hold the experience. The picture shows well known gang photographer Denis Callwood on HCB's balcony with the Jardins des Tuileries in the background.
