"[This book] embodies the Buddhist wisdom about change, life, and the
world more than anything written after the events of that day."

REMEMBERING ALEX

Our friend and colleague photojournalist Alexandra Boulat passed away Friday, at age 45, having suffered a brain aneurysm this summer.

Below is a photo taken of Alex the week I met her, in 1992, at La Visa, the annual international photojournalism festival in Perpignan, France. (At the time, she was accompanied by her mother Annie, the beloved photo agent, and her father Pierre, who for many years had been Life magazine’s Pairs photographer).

Perhaps it is best, though, to see what she would have wanted us to see: her photographs. CLICK HERE to visit the portfolio page of the photo agency VII, of which she was a founding member and guiding light.
