Mr. Bresson

As time is simply dragging on, I still am not feeling that perfect mix of inspiration and excitement.  I know it will come but it seems to be taking an awful long time.  So where to begin?  Thanks to my fabulous regulars at Five Star Burgers in Clayton, Paul and Neil have been a huge help disectng though photo 101.  Beyond the genuine quality of these amazing gentleman, the books they lent to me  have endless photos to get the mind going.   




FRANCE. 1932. Paris. Place de l'Europe. Gare Saint Lazare.

Here is someone I am certain about; I have begun to fall in love with Henri Cartier-Bresson.  If you are familiar with photography, you probably know of his very famous photograph that began the talk of "The Decisive Moment." More than that, he has an amazing talent for capturing people's spirits and telling stories. Beyond that you suddenly feel happy looking into these amazing photos.  Reactions anyone?
