Photography Appreciation
Born on August 22, 1908 in Chanteloup-en-Brie, east of Paris, French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson is known for his photojournalism and street photography.
Perhaps of his many photographs, my personal favorites are those he captured to tell a story. For example, in 1948, before Communism took over China, he captured the anxiety of people trying to get gold from the banks. Another of his photos caught the love between mother and son after the son returned from war.
