Photojournalism part one

Henri Cartier-Bresson
 Cartier-Bresson is considered to be the 'Godfather of photojouralism' as he would wonder the streets and position himself in various places waiting for life to enter in front of his camera probably the most iconic phrase used by photographers today which is 'into this place life will come'.  

This is considered to be the greatest picture of the 20th century as before the invention of the leica camera photos would take over 8 minutes to develop and the subject would have to remain still otherwise the photo would appear blurred.

 This photo is considered to be inspirational because at the time europe was in turmoil and people said that the broken wheel in the photo (bottom left) signified the break in peace in europe. Also theman leaping from the broken  ladder into the puddle was also considered to be to do with europe as they were about to 'leap into the unkown'.
