Henri Cartier-Bresson. He was a French man who took very, very good photos. I plan to be the new Cartier-Bresson but I am neither French, nor a man and I am useless at taking photos. So in an attempt to resolve the “uselss at taking photos” bit I have joined the Edinburgh Photographic Society. Those folks know their stuff and they will help me understand what SLR means, what all those buttons and dials are for, how to avoid having my eye taken out when the flash pops up and how to compose a shot.
And the other bits …. being French? Je parle Francais un peut. Regardez le photographe, elle n’ sait pas sa overture from sa exposition.
As for becoming a man. No! I don’t think so. Women are so much better than men, except men are quite good at putting the spiders out and …. eh …. that’s it, isn’t it?
In the meantime here is an example of why I am almost as good as Henri already. In my humble opinion of course!
Henri Cartier Bresson's quite brilliant, "Behind the train station"
My version called "Skipping Locorotondo"
