HCB's death has caused the predicable amount of reactions here in France. Of course, many radio programs have released some sound archives of HCB's interviews and other photographers and artist' speaking about him, his work, the founding of Magnum agency.

I know that many of you do not speak French, though, it seems useful to indicate you some interesting links about HCB. several of them show a lot of pictures, which do not need linguistic capacities, HCB's images speaking by their own...
