Henri Cartier-Bresson

I love this picture. I think the light and set up of this picture is simply amazing. I also really like the pose the figure is holding. He looks like he is running towards someone or something. The question is what is he running to? Henri did not take a picture of where he was going, only where he came from. This really makes me think about where he is going and why.
The other great thing about this picture is how much is going on. This is a picture with a lot going on yet my eye is still drawn immediately to the dark figure. I think that is because of how much darker he is compared to the rest of the image.

This is another of Henri's pictures that I love. I think the set up of this image is absolutely stunning. The staircase leads your eye directly to the biker. Again in this image the main part of the photo is black causing it to stand out. Henri does a great job of keeping his images interesting yet not busy.

This image makes me laugh. I think it is so cute! My guess is that it is two little boys, but I do not know that for sure. This simply reminds me of childhood. I feel like Henri does a great job of capturing emotion.
