“Either you get it or you don't.”~ Henri Cartier-Bresson The world is in constant motion. It takes extreme concentration and focus to realize what is going on around you.Henri is on the Staten Island Ferry. Like most Europeans, myself included, the spectacle of Manhattan laid out in front of you is somewhat awe inspiring. In what one must consider a self portrait as his own reflection is captured along with his subject who I have always thought bears a remarkable resemblance to the great Irish writer James Joyce whose novel “Ulysses” ironically was Henri’s favorite novel.Perhaps this fact inspired him to take the image. I’m sure it did.
