Swimming with the Razorfishes

Wednesday, August 04, 2004

Henri Cartier-Bresson has died in Vaucluse, France. His photography changed the art form and touched countless lives. His writing gave insight into the art and luck of capturing a moment. His painting was inspired. He will be missed.

"My contact sheets may be compared to the way you drive a nail in a plank," he said. "First you give several light taps to build up a rhythm and align the nail with the wood. Then, much more quickly, and with as few strokes as possible, you hit the nail forcefully on the head and drive it in."

Ahh. Like his photographs, so perfect.
