In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv.
Henri Cartier-BressonFor me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.
Henri Cartier-BressonFor the world is movement, and you cannot be stationary in your attitude toward something that is moving.
Henri Cartier-BressonPhotography is, for me, a spontaneous impulse coming from an ever attentive eye which captures the moment and its eternity.
