Madrid, 1933
The Leica that Cartier-Bresson carried held only 36 exposures at a time — with no motor drive, of course — but his efficiency and economy were extraordinary. He walked the streets with an almost Zen-like patience, hunting for the kinds of precise shutter moments that now epitomize great photojournalism.
