Brassaï, Rue Quincampoix, Paris, 1932                           Frank Horvat, Paris, 1955

"I keep a hotel room in my town, although I have a large house. And I go there at about 5:30 in the morning, and I start working. 

And I don't allow anybody to come in that room. I work on yellow pads and with ballpoint pens. I keep a Bible, 

a thesaurus, a dictionary, and a bottle of sherry. I stay there until midday."

Maya Angelou
