Henri Cartier Bresson was born in 1908 in France where he was the oldest of five children. His father was a well of textile merchant which is how he was able to fund the Leica camera and 35mm film he used daily. In his later life he was considered to be one of the first people to popularise photo journalism because he took the best pictures at the right time showing the pain and joy that went on all around the world. He always worked in black and white and never developed his own prints Because he said "I've never been interested in the process of photography, never never".
This image is one of his most well known images of a man on a bike cycling round a corner. The reason this image is so popular is because its a timeless the picture anyone could have taken it at anytime. The image is in black and white as is all of his work.

This is an image is of dice being thrown in gambling hall one of the dice is very blurred because it is still in motion. I like this picture because it shows the dice in all stases of motion. The image size is 1000x736.
