C-B dies at 95

[dll927]

Henri Cartier-Bresson died yesterday (Aug. 4th) in France at the ripe old age of 95.

In his salad days, he probably did as much as anyone to make the Leica famous, and the Leica, in turn, made him famous.

A loss for all of us in the photo world.

Really a bad news!

Just looking at the different photography web sites and forums. Perhaps the greatest tribute being paid to him are all the many threads dedicated to him and discussing him. A great talent for us all to admire.
