comment on henri cartier's bresson's décisive moment and

how the photograph attempts to capture a moment

that transcends the medium itself

Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908 – August 3, 2004) was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism

"To take a photograph is to align the head, the eye and the heart. It's a way of life."

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.

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

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