Henri Cartier-Bresson

I was not aware of Henri Cartier-Bresson before his death, but
read about him afterwards. The Hindu last week carried a
beautiful picture by him on page 1, showing Nehru announcing
Gandhi's death at Birla house in 1948.

Thanks to Tim Foster for this blog entry pointing to a
photograph collection by Cartier-Bresson. The Nehru picture
is on page 12, along with several other pictures from India
around this time.
