‘I had had blackwater fever in Africa, and was now obliged to convalesce. I went to Marseille. A small allowance enabled me to get along, and I worked with enjoyment. I had just discovered the Leica. It became the extension of my eye, and I have never been separated from it since I found it. I prowled the streets all day, feeling very strung-up an ready to pounce, determined to “trap” life—to preserve life in the act of living.’
-Henri Cartier-Bresson, ‘The Decisive Moment,’ reprinted in The Mind’s Eye: Writings on Photography and Photographers (New York: Aperture, 1999), p. 22
