Cartier-Bresson Dies at 95
The New York Times >Henri Cartier-Bresson, arguably the father of photojournalism, died today just short of his 96th birthday. Cartier-Bresson famously spoke of the "decisive moment" in photography. His own photos were among both the most extraordinary and the most familiar of the 20th century.
He was a founder of the world's most presitigous photo agency Magnum Photo, where you can see an extensive gallery of his work.
The Washington Post also features a fine gallery of his portraits.
