Sugestao

Ha certos artistas, quer seja no campo da musica, quer seja no campo das letras, cinema, escultura, pintura, fotografia, etc.., que dao mais significado a nossa vida e a realidade que nos rodeia e que nos ajudam a descobrir um mundo enorme que esta por descobrir para alem dos dominios da educacao e da televisao em Portugal. Felizmente ainda ha boa imprensa em Portugal e foi atraves do Dna que eu fiquei a conhecer este fotografo extraordinario, talvez o grande fotografo do sec XX, o seu nome: Henri Cartier-Bresson. Visitem www.henricartierbresson.org para ficarem a saber mais qualquer coisa. La podem encontrar isto:
"For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to “give a meaning” to the world, one has to feel involved in what one frames through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, discipline of mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.
To take a photograph is to hold one’s breath when all faculties converge in a face of fleeing reality. It is at that moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.
To take a photograph means to recognize – simultaneously and within a fraction of a second– both the fact itself and the rigorous organisation of visually perceived forms that give it meaning.
It is putting one’s head, one’s eye, and one’s heart on the same axis
