what do you think henri cartier—bresson taught you?something ofa man he loved your work, he was something of a man told to you. absolutely. what was it you think that he thought he knew? i couldn't tell you. i really don't know what was going on in his mind. i only know that he never talked directly in the sense that when i was shown him a photograph, he would 5ay, was shown him a photograph, he would say, now, this is what you have to do, and all that sort of thing. in ever behave like that. he would make gentle suggestions, if you framed it this way, it would have that kind of a sense coming out, but leaving it this way, it doesn't bring out that feeling. and one of the things i learned from him was if you are going out in the street, especially, the unobtrusive. and this lasted for the unobtrusive. and this lasted for the whole of my life. and you, it seems, really like being outside, and in particular, in 5pontaneou5 moments with ordinary people, i think you made a conscious decision to avoid studio work as much as possible. ye5, m
