A Moment in Photographic History:
1908 — Henri Cartier-Bresson, French photographer, was born August 22, 1908 in Chanteloup, France.
Happy 100th birthday, Henri.
A Photographic Quote of Note:
We often hear of “camera angles” – that is, those made by a guy who throws himself flat on his stomach to obtain a cetain effect or style, but the only legitimate angles that exist are those of the geometry of the composition.
