Jim Chiesa
Jim Chiesa writes: "The famous french photographer Henri
Cartier-Bresson once said, "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." When
you have felt this level of emotion with a camera then you will realise
that Henri Cartier-Bresson was right. I am based in Le Havre,
France. Photography is my all-time number one hobby. I also enjoy
exhibiting my ongoing work on my photo gallery located here: http://www.pbase.com/jim_c."
