Henri Cartier-Bressen

My reaction and feelings toward Cartier were mixed. Some of his photos were extraordinary, showing great talent for the art, gaining my respect for his works. The man himself however, I do not have such great feelings about. While his photography show great emotions, ranging from peaceful feelings, to some videos of the war that were depressing, the man himself only seemed to only have a short set of opinions and emotions, and very few were good. His personality made me not want to watch the video more, and eventually made me bored and not care about what he was saying. Even his rambling away from what is the main point of the question posed to him got on my nerves, because half the time it was hard to even know what he talking about anymore. While I have great respect for Cartier's work and believe he is by far one of the better photographers of his time, I would never want to meet the man personally, because I believe it would be hard to even pay him any attention, and perhaps he would in some cases give me the urge to slap him and tell him to get to the point.
