Of course they are ! my bad !

IS THAT MORE THAN TEN CHARACTERS THEN??

 

[Sparrow]

That last one always reminds me of an octopus tentacle ...just thought I`d throw that in

I too have never seen the first photograph.

... that's because it's Phi Michael, this thing LINK it's something to do with mathematics

I've never seen that photo or the attribution before, which I'd have been surprised by.

Sounds like web BS..

Saw the image for the first time here and wonder when I'll see it again. Nice snap, but the credit thing seems maybe a PR ploy?

Just as everyone else here, I haven't seen that image before. If I had, however, I'd proabably been more likely to believe it was taken by William Wegman :-D

(PS: "Entire Internet"? Really? I never signed off on that.)

+1. I would never have made any connection with HCB.

Of.course ! I think he was shooting the boat and the people got in the way ?

That'll be it, mate.

+1. I would never have made any connection with HCB.

His compositions are far more geometric. Even his landscapes.

The Register article linked was beyond awful.
"Entire internet credits snapper for taking great pic while actually dead"

Entire internet?
The linked story gives 'evidence' by linking to a blog, where the blogger actually writes about an up-coming Tate Modern exhibition about International photographers covering London:
http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/another-london

It includes others work as well as Bresson's, I didn't take the blog post as 'gospel' that all shots were HCB's.
The 'everyone' would include Google images which picks out one site image that claims she thought it might be HCB but then says
"(Correction: see Errata: mea culpa regarding the photograph above….it is NOT a Cartier-Bresson!)"
So the Register do a Google search 'Henri Cartier Bresson Girl dog beach' and are surprised that someone else's image shows up?

So 'One of the worlds best loved images is universally wrongly credited to Bresson'?
Hang on Elvis and Buddy Holly are at the door they want to meet Jim Morrison who I'm sipping whisky with–sheesh.

The Rigister is a steaming pile....
