Happy birthday Wes Anderson 🎂
📷 Andrew Eccles
"Wes Anderson has a very special kind of talent: He knows how to convey the simple joys & interactions between people so well & with such richness."
- Martin Scorsese
Like Schumann on Brahms: "Hats off, gentlemen - a genius!"

"With my style, I can take a subject that you’d think would be commercial and turn it into something that not a lot of people want to see."
I love this glimpse of the filming of Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch by the on set still photographer, Roger Do Minh.
