First of all, this is a masterpiece of translation. This illuminates Bresson's famed brevity of expression and clarity of thought. The decisive moment will never be more clearly explained or precisely chronicled. I have not yet finished the book, but, I hope it contains the following ( which is present in the French Edition "L'imaginaire d'apres nature"); "Le photographie est, pour moi, l'impulsion spontanee d'une attention visuelle perpetuelle, qui saisit l'instant et et son eternite". (Roughly translated, "Photography is, for me, the spontaneous impulse of a perpetual visual attention (attentiveness ???) that captures the moment and its eternity."

The book was OK but I made the mistake of not reading the title properly; Henri Bresson? Must be good. I expected many more photos than there are but, hey, that's the gamble. Next time, I'll think before I leap. However, I'm a mature student and, you never know, it might come in handy for my next course. No regrets!
