"I managed to ask him for two copies before I hung up. He was very friendly. Many years later, after I met his agent at the Paris Art Fair, he signed my photograph for me."

I saw this at the weekend and thought it a fascinating and charming story. How things have changed. I found it extraordinary that in 1974 Magnum gave Jane Rangeley HC-B's home number and she simply rang him up! I was also touched by the fact that Jane is herself now a few years older than I am (I'm guessing but I would put her at about 65), that she has never forgotten this episode and that she is still in touch with her French boyfriend of over forty years ago. 

 

The best item the Guardian has run in this series.
