Henri Cartier Bresson

He was famous for creating some great decisive moments using one of the first hand held cameras made by Leica. Before that you couldn't really take photos fast enough to capture a split second in time. His work has helped us today to capture stories while they are happening, newspapers get to capture a story as it is happening to visually describe a story. Learning about his work has made me appreciate the story that can happen in a frozen moment in the tiniest fragments of time.

Here is a great link I found brilliant while looking for some of his photographs:  http://erickimphotography.com/blog/2011/08/22/10-things-henri-cartier-bresson-can-teach-you-about-street-photography/
