Katia and Maurice Krafft - Early Days

Early Days

Katia Conrad and Maurice Krafft met at the University of Strasbourg, and their career as volcano observers began soon after. With little money, they saved up for a trip to Stromboli and photographed its near-continuous eruption. Finding that people were interested in this documentation of eruptions, they soon made a career out of this, which afforded them the ability to travel the globe. They were married in 1970.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or days:

    In the course of twenty crowded years one parts with many illusions. I did not wish to lose the early ones. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    These days are dangerous;
    Virtue is choked with foul ambition,
    And charity chased hence by rancor’s hand.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
