About the author

Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism, an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the master of candid photography. He helped develop the "street photography" or "real life reportage" style that has influenced generations of photographers that followed.

nice collection of photos. mostly of landscapes that happen to have people in them. My favorite was the one where the guy was riding a bicycle with a double base strapped to his back in what looked like the middle of farmland. I will always wonder '..but where could the musician have possibly carried his bow in that situation...'. Fated never to be answered...
