The first image he told me about was of three children on a road
in Iceland in 1965. He said that for him it was the image of happiness,

alone at the beginning of a film, with a long piece of black leader.
If they don't see happiness in the picture, at least they'll see the black."

spoken by the narrator at the beginning of the Chris Marker film, Sans Soleil
