The eye of the Sixties is gone.

Roger Kasparian died on February 15, while on a family trip to Georgia.

A tribute ceremony will be held this Tuesday at the Armenian church in Paris and then the photographer, born in 1938, will be buried in the south of France, alongside his mother.

His final home will be in Théoule-sur-Mer (Alpes-Maritimes) but Montreuil remains the cradle of his family and his life.

It is here that Varastade Kasparian, survivor of the Armenian genocide, founded the family photo studio in the early 1950s, in the Boissière district which will give it its name.

The locals go there to immortalize a wedding or a communion.
