Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908 – August 3, 2004) was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism. He was an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the master of candid photography. He helped develop the "street photography" or "life reportage" style that has influenced generations of photographers who followed.
The Decisive Moment
Besides being more light-sensitive than other processes (allowing shorter exposure time), this process made fine detail possible. The prints looked almost like daguerreotypes on paper.
Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, Willard Van Dyke, Edward Weston, et al, form Group f/64 dedicated to "straight photographic thought and production".; Henri Cartier-Bresson buys a Leica and begins a 60-year career photographing people;
•1935: Farm Security Administration hires Roy Stryker to run a historical section. Stryker would hire Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Arthur Rothstein, et al. to photograph rural hardships over the next six years. Roman Vishniac begins his project of the soon-to-be-killed-by-their-neighbors Jews of Central and Eastern Europe.The FSA is famous for its small but highly influential photography program, 1935–44, that portrayed the challenges of rural poverty.
Gula was living as a refugee in Pakistan during the time of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan when she was photographed. The image brought her recognition when it was featured on the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic Magazine at a time when she was approximately 12 years old. Gula was known throughout the world simply as "the Afghan Girl" until she was formally identified in early 2002.
. The image itself was named "the most recognized photograph" in the history of the magazine.[7] In January 2002, a National Geographic team traveled to Afghanistan to locate the subject of the now-famous photograph The team finally located Gula, then around the age of 30, in a remote region of Afghanistan; she had returned to her native country from the refugee camp in 1992. Her identity was confirmed using biometric technology, which matched her iris patterns to those of the photograph with almost full certainty.[8] She vividly recalled being photographed—she had been photographed on only three occasions: in 1984 and during the search for her when a National Geographic producer took the identifying pictures that led to the reunion with Steve McCurry. She had never seen her famous portrait before it was shown to her in January 2002.
•1960: Garry Winogrand begins photographing women on the streets of New York City.

The first particle spotted in a ray of light.
Ugh! So there are several videos I would love to post, however... I don't think blogger will allow me to upload videos from YouTube. I'm rather distraught at this realization. If you know how to by pass the system, or I'm just a 'tard and I'm not doing it right... let me know please. Matt says that this blogging thing gets easier however I do not believe the boy with an English degree. This would be one of those times were you question the individual with an education, simply because there aptitude for the task is far greater than your own. It would be like me telling your average scrapbooking Jane, looking at cameras in the middle of Costco that, "Oh it's simple!" and then handover a Nikon D5. Now knowing that most of you do not know what that is... my point is proven. So sit back and enjoy, my many profound thoughts...
