#1409 - Henri Cartier-Bresson | The Paris Chong Show
Srinagar, Kashmir, 1948
"My collecting mantra is very simple: always be open and receptive, and only collect something that moves you or changes you in some way. Collecting is like reading a great novel; you are one person before and one person after. That’s the litmus test on whether or not you should acquire an image. Does it haunt you?"
~ Peter Fetterman
