Wednesday's Words of the Day
To take a photograph means to recognize – simultaneously and within a fraction of a second– both the fact itself and the rigorous organisation of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one’s head, one’s eye, and one’s heart on the same axis. ~ Henri Cartier-Bresson - Famous French Photographer, 1908-2004
