"A Little Off The Top, Plz"

This is definitely a beautiful example of Cartier-Bresson’s “decisive moment” concept.  Timing, location, framing.. all together for a picture that is interesting, gripping and memorable thereby. #awesome

Peripheral Visions: André Thijssen

“If there is such a thing in photography as a “decisive moment”, the term coined by Henri Cartier-Bresson, then there must also be the opposite––the casual, corner-of-the-eye event … a photographer who concentrates on the periphery of the frame, he sees beauty in things that most people aren’t interested in. Thijssen’s work provides access to parallel worlds, of which we are occasionally also aware, however we prefer to ignore these unfathomable moments in time.
