“The Rockabs lived in the large apartment blocks of the Madeleine district. Most were workers, and many still lived with their parents.
I could drop in on them, photograph their rooms and sometimes have lunch with their parents. After several weeks, they got into the habit of letting me know as soon as they were doing something.”
