Bresson Copy Atempts
Two drummers spend the day jamming in Cesar Chavez Park. This image uses Bresson's tendency to use slow shutter speeds to exaggerate the difference between animate and inanimate objects.

Henri Cartier Bresson
"The simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression... . In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little human detail can become a leitmotif." — Henri Cartier Bresson
In photography, our aim should always been capturing genuine moments and Henri Cartier Bresson, in my opinion, did accomplished this in every shot. Bresson, a French photographer, is considered to be the father of street photography and photo journalism.
Bresson worked with a very small Leica rangefinder camera (I am a rangefinder user as well), a 50mm lens and would often cover his camera with black tape to make it less conspicuous. When working with human subjects, they have a tendency to close off real emotion and try to express what they think you want to see.
Bresson's style breaks through posed moments and brings out genuine moments of emotion, which you will see in the imagines below (his picture of Marlyn Monroe is perhaps the only picture I have seen of her not vamping).
His work is always balanced very well with great contrast. He seems to know exactly when and where to use shallow depth of field or to go really deep into the picture.

Silhouette
The SJSU music video production class works in the shadows to create a promotional video for Paloma and The Rubys.
This Devon Rex, Neko, was bred by Rex -N-FX cattery. The first Devon Rex was discovered in Devonshire, England, and is known for its pixie looks and lively personality.The bottom shot is my favorite, but I thought I would show a progression through the stops to the final darkness.
