Quote: Henri Cartier-Bresson on Photography and Drawing

Photography and drawing – juxtaposition.

For me, photography is a spontaneous impulse towards a constant visual attention that captures both the moment and eternity within it. 

A drawing, by its graphic nature, explores what out consciousness has seized in that very moment. 

Photography is an immediate action, drawing is a meditation. 

Henri Cartier-Bresson, a French photographer.
