“Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn’t go too fast. The subject must forget about you.Then however, you must be very quick”
~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
(1908-2004)
Henri ’s beautiful meditation on faith and devotion taken in Lisbon Cathedral. I discovered this image in Henri’s studio, so many years ago. He had never really printed it before. I expressed to him my amazement at this fact as I thought it was just wonderful, and he graciously made me a handful of prints. His genius here was to wait till the exact moment when the body language of the two participants in this human moment were perfectly aligned.
