A long while ago I checked out a book by Cartier-Bresson from the library. I loved his work so much that I kept it! HAHAHAHA. I have his American in Passing. What I think is amazing about him is that he doesn't believe in darkroom editing. He thought that pictures should be composed in the viewfinder, not the darkroom. So on most of his pictures he left an interesting black border. I think it adds a really cool touch and it shows how fabulous he was a composition. I couldn't find my favorite ones from the book I got, but I did find a few pictures of his that are amazing. I'm a sucker for kissy pictures, and I like that he photographed almost entirely in black and white, so I dig him.
