Photography Bresson

Prizzi poses in homage to Cartier-Bresson, Cristian -Kit- Paul, Bucharest, 2007.

My friend Bogdan Dumitrache showed me an impressive "Henri Cartier-Bresson visits Romania"1 photo retrospective right off his iPhone yesterday—a fine opportunity to drift into a rather lengthy discussion about Leica rangefinders (Bogdan collects Leicas, affectionately naming them "musical sculptures").

That's why today I find appropriate to post a photo of Prizzi posing with/in homage to Cartier-Bresson's Manhattan shot from his 19472 American series, a work that I love and I was lucky enough to see in Amsterdam a couple of years ago.


1 I wrote about his 1975 visit to Romania a while back.

2 The year when together with his friend and colleague Robert Capa and David Seymour, Henri Cartier-Bresson founded Magnum Photos agency.
