We Bow Our Heads In Grief

We bow our heads in grief and respect today to mourn the passing of one of photography’s greatest icons: Henri Cartier-Bresson.

He proved that to be truly great, all’s you really have to have is a good eye – he shot all his life with a small hand-held 35mm Leica. No fancy lighting, darkroom work or technology required. He’s a hero to all of us who love his work.
