*sigh* Sometimes I wish I lived back then. And in France. I would so live in France. Anyways, I just love his work. His photographs give such delicious little slices of life -- I love that.
Inspiration: Henri Cartier-Bresson
March 9, 2011
Henri Cartier-Bresson is one of my all-time favorite photographers. I discovered Cartier-Bresson in the school library one day when researching photographers for an assignment for Photo I. I honestly didn't know of many photographers before that class -- actually, I don't think I knew any. Well, besides Annie Leibovitz. I think everyone knows about Annie Leibovitz. You'd have to live under a rock to NOT know about Annie Leibovitz. Anyhow, that day in the library I fell in love with Cartier-Bresson. He is considered as the founder of modern photojournalism, the first to do "street photography." I love the candid quality of his photos. They're so beautiful in their simplicity.
