Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson has died.

I saw his Tête à Tête exhibit at the Portrait Gallery a few years ago. Beautiful work.

Said Cartier-Bresson:

In photography, the smallest thing can become a big subject, an insignificant human detail can become a leitmotiv. We see and we make seen as a witness to the world around us; the event, in its natural activity, generates an organic rhythm of forms.

Some do this better than others, and he was one of the best.
