This book is made of a set of 24 black-and-white photographs on the intimate and family life of Willy Ronis with his wife Marie-Anne and his son Vincent. "Is there a difference of attitude between the amateur and the professional when they photograph their loved ones or take their own portrait? I do not think so. In both cases it is a fundamentally sentimental and playful activity, since it takes place either at home in a moment of relaxation, or at weekends, or on holidays. Thus associated, whoever the photographer, are the wish to preserve, over time, both the memory of places and that of the beings dear to us. In short, it is a photography of happiness." Willy Ronis
