I thought Henri Cartier-Bresson had passed away, but it appears he's still out there taking snaps of "The Decisive Moment".

She's going very well. No clutch slip, no grabbing when pulled in. Still quite tricky getting neutral...almost impreceptible feel first to neutral, yet sometimes needs quite a lot of pressure to shift...so overshooting to 2nd is common.How are you getting on with that velo clutch?
Can you sit at traffic lights in gear on it?
There are some amazing shots from back in the day capturing very difficult to achieve action shots....all with single exposures, one camera, no auto-winder etc. Obviously having to do many test or failed attempted shots would be needed.I remember that famous pix from uni, it was a big deal in Art World. Later found out it was more or less posed or at least he had several attempts.
'Candid' 35mm photography all the rage none of that 4x5 Graflex stuff. Today idiots like me drop dosh so they can go to Medium Format. Everything old is new again...
I have been told some of my shots were no big deal because they were photoshop adjusted. Well remember back then we did the same in the darkroom and in larger format days could and did crop negatives with abandon something that we can do again now with big MP camera sensors. None of this lessens actual skill with the camera.
Big difference between capturing the moment and creating it...in either a dark room or a computer.I have been told some of my shots were no big deal because they were photoshop adjusted.
