I just read an article forwarded to me by a friend. It is the New York
Review of Books review on the new book for HCB. The interviewer, John
Banville, mentioned this photo during the interview, and here is the
response:

"I make the mistake of mentioning one of his more well-known pictures-of a
little boy on the rue Mouffetard proudly carrying two bottles of wine-and he
cries out as if in pain. "Terrible! Terrible! I should destroy the
negative!" "
