Bijou of Andy's Donuts

Bijou of Andy's Donuts, San Francisco, 1975

This photograph was an homage and subsequent gift to the great photographer of Paris in the 1930's, Brassai. It was inspired by his photograph La Môme Bijou, taken at the Bar de la Lune in Paris in 1932.

Read about the history of my meeting with Brassai. The second image is a reprint of his autograph to me, which he signed next to his photograph of Mme Bijou in his book "The Secret Paris of the '20's"
