Remembering Henri : Charlie Rose on Henri Cartier-Bresson
Sharpness is a bourgeois concept
— Henri Cartier-Bresson
A photograph can be viewed on several levels. To begin with, it is a physical object, a print. On this print is an image, an illusion of a window on to the world.
It is on this level that we usually read a picture and discover its content: a souvenir of an exotic land, the face of a lover, a wet rock, a landscape at night.
Embedded in this level is another that contains signals to our mind’s perceptual apparatus.
It gives ‘spin’ to what the image depicts and how it is organized.

Recently received this from Mas Brahm, an interesting portrait collection of Indonesian celebrated casts by Indra Leonardi.

a conversation
- World famous photographer Josef Koudelka was once asked:
- the friend: "...you've travelled or so many years, never stopped; you've seen lots of people and countries, all sorts of places. Tell me which place is the best. Where would you like to stay?"
- Koudelka didn't say anything. Just as he was about to leave, the friend asked again. Koudelka didn't want to answer, but the friend kept on insisting.
- Finally the friend said,
- the friend: "You know, i've figured it out! You don't want to answer because you still haven't found the best place. You travel because you're still trying to find it"
- koudelka: "My friend, you've got it all wrong. I'm not desperately trying not to find that place."
