Decisive Moments

Henri Cartier-Bresson's shooting style has sometimes been described in sexual terms. Some called it "a complex chemistry of moral and muscular explosions, like an orgasm." Cartier-Bresson himself has written, "I am a pack of nerves while waiting for the moment, and this feeling grows and grows and grows and then it explodes, it is a physical joy, a dance, space and time reunited. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"
