i hope the new yorker does a story on henri cartier-bresson. new york times did a lengthy piece, but it's only left me wanting more. i liked what he said here:
Critics have sometimes complained about the intrusiveness of photojournalists like Mr. Cartier-Bresson. John Malcolm Brinnin, who traveled across the United States with him in 1946, later called him "a humanitarian indifferent to people."
Mr. Cartier-Bresson heard this criticism and replied: "There is something appalling about photographing people. It is certainly some sort of violation; so if sensitivity is lacking, there can be something barbaric about it."
Mr. Cartier-Bresson, you lived 95 years and lord knows that's long enough, but surely you must've known you'd be missed!
