“To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.” — Henri Cartier-Bresson

Fleeting indeed! Great camera work Rey!
Thank you, Rodney. I must confess that the original concept didn’t have the person passing by, but when I saw it, I knew I had the shot.

Ahhh, a happy circumstance! I love it when that happens!
Just read a (fictional) short story where Cartier-Bresson was to photograph Collette. Your beautiful photo and well-paired quote are very timely!
Thanks, Jennifer. Now I’ll have to find and read that story. [Clever concept…]
