I realized it's been a year now since Henri Cartier-Bresson died (August 3). To honor him again, I went searching the net about his life and this time, his words. And I did find something. I also felt I had to share this with you by posting it in one of your entries. I remember seeing a related graphics somewhere. As I scanned thru I came by one of his photos you posted for me at the time of his death. And now I realize, it was that blog entry of yours that planted one of the seeds for my December exhibit. It was those quoted words of his that called upon something in me.
And today,I noted is a season of serendipity.
So thank you Nins. Hope you like this quote too...

He raises his glass, again toasting anarchy. "I'm an anarchist, yes," he explains. "Because I'm alive. Life is a provocation.... I'm against people in power and what that imposes upon them. Anglo-Saxons have to learn what anarchism is. For them, it's violence. A cat knows what anarchy is. Ask a cat. A cat understands. They're against discipline and authority. A dog is trained to obey. Cats can't be. Cats bring on chaos. Libertarianism -- c'est la vie.
