Henri Cartier-Bresson FRANCE. Paris. Place de l’Europe. Gare Saint Lazare. 166.42 KB (170,417 bytes) 1932
Biography: Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer considered to be
the father of photojournalism. He was an early adopter of 35 mm format,
and the master of candid photography.
Statement: "To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson.
Background info: A show at New York's Museum of Modern Art explores the many facets of photographs and his most protean talent.
Connection: This connects to the theme of this gallery because it focuses on the urban style using the black and white lighting and the Paris city life. I chose this photo because i thought the reflections of the shadows and bundles of water were quite fascinating and beautiful.
