Hi again! Today i will talk about a photograph that i like.
This picture was taken by Henri Cartier-Bresson in France in 1932 and called it "Detrás de la estación de San Lázaro". His phylosophy in photography prove that he want to search the "decisive moment". Cartier-Bresson searched for the full presence of the photographer in what was happening in front of the viewer: head, eye and heart have to be focusing on the same thing. He said that we, as photographers, must "be" with all ourselves in the photo: "We work in movement, a kind of feeling of life. The photograph has to catch it expressive balance ". The decisive moment is, in this photo, when the character is in the air or suspended in the space because it is something that we see but it is really difficult to catch it with your camera. I like this photograph because cause me the impression that the man who took this photo had his camera in the arm every day and every time that he leave his home to do anything.
