Henri Cartier-Bresson was a french photography some consider him the grandfather of the modern day photography.
they great thing about Henri Cartier-Bresson is that is was some what a stalker sitting and waiting for his shot to line up and become the shot we want he called this decisive moment.
"the decisive moment, it is the
simultaneous recognition, in a fraction
of a second, of the significance of an
event as well as the precise organization
of forms which gives that event
its proper expression."
A quote by Henri cartier-bresson
The picture above is one of Henri Cartier-Bresson decisive moments, there has been many things said about this picture meaning, some say it europ jumping into the unknow of war, some have also add this is a prediction of thing to happen in the war, they thing this because of the jewish comany advertisment in the background, and some of these theoys maybe true some might not but that the magic of a decisive moment.
Henri Cartier-Bresson used a very modern camera for his time, he was using the leica camera made by a man in Germany in 1993. these cameras where very reverlotionary for the time as thery had an early form of the todays lens, which is amzaing as it was pre world war .
