"写真とは、ある出来事の重要性を瞬間的に認識することである。"

Henri Cartier Bresson

Simplified Meaning:

Taking a photograph means quickly seeing and capturing a moment that is important or meaningful. Imagine you're at a birthday party, and someone is about to blow out the candles on a cake. In that split second, you realize this is a special and happy moment worth remembering, so you take a picture. Photography is about noticing these important moments, even if they happen very quickly, and making sure you save them. It's like being able to freeze time during those small but significant events in life. By recognizing these moments, you can look back on them later and feel the same emotions you felt when they happened.
