Henri Cartier Bresson - The Decisive Moment

Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) was an accomplished French photographer well known for, "his theory that photography can capture the meaning beneath outward appearance in instants of extraordinary clarity." He explained this theory in his novel, Images a la sauvette (1952), translated in English to The Decisive Moment.  Cartier-Bresson practiced black and white photography internationally.
