Bresson's Patience


I was talking to a friend the other day that had just visited the Bresson exhibit in Chicago.

Bresson's work taught me a lot and so many things I admired about his work still motivate my shooting today. More than anything he taught me how to wait. How to slow down and wait for a picture to unfold into a definitive moment. This any many ways is like chasing a white whale and it's the failures that keep me coming back again and again. Sometimes I get close...
