Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson

The Leica site has a Book of Condolence for HC-B, who probably did more than anyone else to make the Leica synonomous with high-quality photo-reportage. It’s accompanied by this picture. Note the way he cradles the camera to make it unobtrusive to others. He looks as though he’s dressed for a funeral. Wonder when this was taken.
