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.
