Literature Project #30 Henri Cartier-Bresson, Michael L. Sand 'The Mind's Eye: Writings on Photography and Photographers'.

30 days into my year long daily Literature project. I do not entirely agree with all that Henri Cartier-Bresson has said (in particular his emphasis on the importance of the so-called "Decisive Moment") but this quotation from 'The Mind's Eye: Writings on Photography and Photographers' resonated with me:

"In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv."

[Suzanne]

Good choice of quotation and illustration. I am enjoying this project very much.

[Casablanca]

Ah, love that! Great quote and I haven't heard the term Leitmotiv since I was a music student. Perfect mental image.

[Susan Wakely]

So nicely matched to your quote.
