Thanks for sharing. I once almost had the opportunity to visit him at his apartment in Paris. We were at the Fondation Henri Cartier Bresson and struck up a conversation with the director who called him to see if we could visit. He did not feel well that day and said later that week iwould be better but sadly we were leaving the next day. I've only wondered what it would have been like.

Just like Frank and Winogrand.

The most sense I ever heard him make.
The interviewer caught him on a good day.

It’s a little bit depressing to hear him go from being extremely eloquent in English, to struggling a tad.
Not because he was getting on, but probably just because he didn’t have as much opportunity to use the language anymore.

That is something native English speakers seems surprisingly little aware of; that there is often a huge gulf between active and passive vocabulary.
Even if you understand perfectly and can read the language, that often finding the correct word is a completely different cognitive task than passive intake.
And also that it often takes a lot of warmup time before you get as fluent as you can be when you talk.
English also needs very careful pronunciation to not turn into mud, while other languages get away with a much sloppier shorthand. That also takes some recalibration when all of a sudden you are required to switch.
