When we speak about Bresson, we often associate him with the idea of the Decisive Moment. But as I learned on a tour of one of the newest exhibits at International Center of Photography, he actually hated that name. The exhibit itself is coined "The Decisive Moment" but to Bresson, he believed that there are many moments instead. The artistic photographer also really wishes that his now famous book would have instead been called something along the lines of "Images on the Run." Indeed, this is a bit more like what we see of Bresson's work--at least in some of his most famous images.
