“The greatest joy for me is geometry.” ~ Henri Cartier-Bresson One of Henri’s greatest accomplishments is a love poem to geometry. It has always been and I feel will always be the most balanced image in the history of photography.How in that fraction of a second did Henri know that the reflection of the puddle jumper would be in almost perfect alignment. With the dancer on the poster and the reflection of the dancer in the poster on the ground.Pure genius.
