Henri Cartier-Bresson

The photography of French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson is on exhibit at the Ateneum Museum in Helsinki.   
"In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv.”  
“As far as I am concerned, taking photographs is a means of understanding which cannot be separated from other means of visual expression. It is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one’s own originality. It is a way of life.”

“Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing.”
