Henri Cartier-Bresson's Photographs at the Art Gallery in Wolfsburg.

I visited a wonderful exhibition today of Henri Cartier-Bresson's black and white photos entitled, "The Geometry of the Moment, Lanscapes."  Oh what wonderful photographs, showing textures, patterns and contrasts in the landscape.  Each photo has a black line around it, showing that it is taken directly from the negative and without any editing. 

He had such an eye for the moment and wrote, "To take a photograph is to align the head, the eye and the heart.  It's a way of life."   Monika, Karin and myself were much impressed and left the exhibition feeling we'd learnt a little more about looking at our world and life.   I will add more photos tomorrow, this Blog site is playing up at the moment and it is late and I am running out of patience!!  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
