The Decisive Momentby Henri Cartier-Bresson.
Personally, I really like this Photograph. its a great example of Cartier-Bresson's decisive moment, like I mentioned in previous blog entry.
"The Decisive Moment" is named this way due to the exact moment the picture was taken. If this was taken seconds later, the man would not be falling into the lake, there would just be a splash of where he'd fallen in.
Cartier-Bresson was born in France in 1908, and died 5 years ago yesterday (conveniently enough). The Decisive Moment would later be known as his trademark and would often be associated with this particular type of photography. He also popularised Street and Urban Photography, which has inpsired many more photographers to do the same.

Another photography in the same style involves a cyclist riding past at the exact time he takes the photograph, which works really well.
anyway. enough from me.
How're you?
