Henri Cartier-Bresson: Scrapbook February 1, 2007

Born in 1908 in a well-to-do middle class French family, as a boy Henri Cartier- Bresson started taking pictures with a Brownie box camera. He later graduated to a 35mm Leica that he used until he retired. Armed only with his silver metal-colored Leica that he covered with black tape, he remained unobtrusive as he roamed the streets in search of his subjects.
