Happy Birthday Henri

[Daniel J. Matyola]

>From today's edition of the Writer's Almanac from MPR:

It's the birthday of photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, born in the
village of Chanteloup, near Paris (1908). He was imprisoned by the
Germans during WWII, but escaped the labor camps and joined the
French resistance. After the war he became a photographer. He liked
using a tiny camera because it gave his work more spontaneity, but also
allowed him to be less visible. He covered the bright chrome parts of his
camera with black tape to make it less obvious; sometimes he hid it under
a handkerchief.
