Ch?re Alice,

Je te r?ponds en fran?ais, je m??xprime mieux qu?en anglais.

Merci pour ton touchant message, Philippe me manque et il me/nous manquera 
toujours, comme tu le dis, ?a a ?t? un shock totalement inattendu. Nous 
sommes fragiles et nous ne nous rendons pas compte du bonheur d?ouvrir les 
yeux tous les jours et vivre des nouvelles petites ?xp?riences. Tu le sais 
bien car Philippe et moi nous avions un contacte direct et souvent, nous 
avons partag? beaucoup plus que la photographie, comme la culture, la 
musique (je revais d??tre un jour ensemble au "Palau de la Musica?) et aussi 
de la bonne humeur.

Le souvenir de lui et des moments qu?on a pass? ensemble sont tr?s vif dans 
ma m?moire ainsi que celle de tous les amis qui ont eu la chance de partager 
avec lui des moments inoubliables.

Connais-tu ce qui a fait Cartier-Bresson ? l?enterrement de son ami Robert 
Doisneau? il a pris une pomme et l?a divis? en deux, une moiti? l?amang? lui 
m?me et l?autre l?a jet? au tombeau de son ami lui disant ?? toi, mon ami!?, 
j?aurais aim? en faire autant.

Avec toute mon affection
Lluis
