Cartier-Bresson? He's everywhere!


Sometimes, cleaning out the hard drive is an adventure, especially when you have more than 25,000 images stored there. I recently stumbled on a pair of shots from New York that resonate as i work on my master's project that has an awful lot to do with Henri Cartier-Bresson.

The lower photo was taken on the High Line in Chelsea. The man is right out of Cartier-Bresson central casting, and the woman looks French to me ... if only she was reading a book and not a phone ...
