I have been watching "The genius of photography" on YouTube. It was interesting to hear Joel Meyerowitz speak about adapting Cartier-Bresson's "decisive Moment" for the fast paced streets of New York*.
Keen to investigate this further I managed to find a huge book about Cartier-Bresson entitled 'Henri Cartier-Bresson, the man, the image & the world (a retrospective)" in my local library. I am familiar with Cartier-Bresson's "iconic" works such as the man leaping the puddle and the family picnicking next to the river but this book shows so much more. I must admit to favouring colour work but was really surprised and interested in his later work
Other photographers I am going to investigate are Diana Arbus and Lee Friedlander and of course Joel Meyerowitz himself.
