Good Price Past Present
Past Present, Francois-Marie Banier need to be the best-connected photographer  in France. His favourite topics are the gratin of Paris's social,  literary, theatrical, fashion, and political institutions, from  Marie Laure de Noailles to Isabelle Adjani, leavened by occasional  photographs of indelibly nameless street individuals.

He makes an impressive United  States debut this month with Past Present, a guide of hellos images  that spans three many yrs.

The cellist Mstislave Rostropovich shuts hellos  eyes as a technique to include irrepressible mirth. The exquisite Adjani  stands proud her tongue and switchs into a furious maenad. The equally  beautiful Truman Capote (1968 version) is a bright- eyed elf in a  zippered fur jacket, whereas Samuel Beckett, age eighty-three, appears to be like  astonishingly good-looking and serene -- now not a trace of angst. A  malevolent Mitterand mounts the steps to his plane, a red carpet  stretching forever in the again of hellom on the just about empty tarmac.
