"To take photographs means to recognize -- simultaneously and within a fraction of a second -- both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis." Henri Cartier-Bresson
Viewing your pic today, I seem to start understanding HCB's words better.:-)
