It reminded me of when I went to a butterfly garden,
there was this tiny old man, who looked quite a bit eccentric, and he climbed any object, wall, fortress to capture bazillions of pictures of butterflies, butterflies in love, butterflies drinking nectar, in flights and fancies.

I secretly fell in love with his dancing with them,
so I secretly snuck around and photographed him photographing them.
`Do you know, I was so angry, Kitty,' Alice went on...`when I saw all the mischief you had been doing, I was very nearly opening the window, and putting you out into the snow! And you'd have deserved it, you
little mischievous darling!

To take a photograph is to align the head, the eye and the heart, I like the concept! :D

& thanks, no idea about Henri Cartier-Bresson existence! :wink:
