A good insight into the one of the greatest minds in photography. Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908 - August 3, 2004) was a French photographer considered to be the father of photojournalism. He was an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the master of candid photography. He helped develop the street photography or life reportage style that was coined The Decisive Moment that has influenced generations of photographers who followed.

Until now, if you wanted to get your hands on a copy of this sixty two year old book, you had to search through online marketplaces for a used copy - and chances were, if you found one, it would cost you $500 or more.
While some of that "original printing" magic might be gone with a new copy, saving $400 may well be worth it. Recreated from the original book by publisher Steidl, they have taken every detail into account to create an exact copy. The only change over the original is an additional booklet with the history of The Decisive Moment by Clément Chéroux. It's 10x14" and 160 pages. Pre-order your copy of Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Decisive Moment ($92.98 USD w/free shipping) now! You will receive your book sometime after October 31st, 2014 when they start to ship.

An Italian TV piece on a Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibit at a museum in Rome.
"Look there, where others only know how to see." This phrase captures the essence of the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson, his unmistakable stylistic diversity of his approach to photography, his relationship with the camera, I quote the words of Bresson: "My Leica is literally an extension of my eye "says Cartier-Bresson," the way in which I hold in my hand, narrow forehead, his mark when the eyes move from side to side, it gives me the impression of being a referee in a match I held before my eyes, which I'll take the atmosphere to the hundredth of a second."
