A truly great photographer.

A long-time friend. A lovely man. An elegant photographer, as good as they get.”

– David Hurn

“We are losing a loyal, most faithful friend, always looking for the news of the children, like an eternal child that he was and that he remains, curious about everything. Thank you Bruno for your kindness and your talent.”

– Raymond Depardon

Many of the early Magnum members are reaching "that age". We lost Paul Fusco recently.

Another sad news in this horrible year.

Love this sentence on the Magnum site : " Photography is the only language that can be understood anywhere in the world"

Such a big loss - his work of Poland in the early 80's is brilliant.
