In sending me his extensive collection of random images, Pip found certain ones the most memorable and had a few comments. Therefore, I will be posting those first and a few others are important enough to belong to dedicated posts. The images here are of Jane Birkin and her two daughters Kate Barry (by John Barry) and Charlotte Gainsbourg, (by Serge Gainsbourg). Pip was moved by the intimacy expressed in this family.

Giancarlo Botti – Serge Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin avec Charlotte et Kate, Verneuil, Paris, Septembre 1976
There are plenty of other images of this charming family as well, some by Botti, some not. Take a look here, here, here, here, here, here, here and another from Botti.
A great family. So sad some are gone already.
And what a tragic story indeed was the short life and apparent suicide of Kate
Barry!
