Henri Cartier-Bresson in Brussels

Having earned my living as a photographer some time ago, I retain an interest in the medium, albeit somewhat limited. I am not really one for the avant garde, (as I am often reminded) and as with other art forms I much prefer classical imagery.

And so it was a great pleasure to visit the Cartier-Bresson expo at the Jewish Museum in Brussels yesterday.

Over 130 images made in various parts of the world, and over a period of some decades. Not only are these images special in themselves, but they touch heavily on my interest in social documentary.

The exhibition runs for another week.
