Comments: Softcover, 24,5 x 34 cm. Black and white portraits capturing the 1980s in Paris.

The story is one of trouble, with a background of sex, drugs, Rockab' and glamour; where we meet the Stray Cats until late at the "Grand Boulevards" parties in Albert (...) It is this raw energy that I tried to capture with my camera, charged with a Kodak Tri-X boosted by my flash. Even if sometimes I acted with cunning and surprise, I always expressed truth and sincerity through my pictures... "
