Het verjaarscadeau van Henri Cartier-Bresson
Martine Franck, fotografe en weduwe van Henri Cartier-Bresson, schrijft op het Magnum weblog:
It was my birthday and Henri asked me what I would like as a present and I told him that I would be so happy if he would make an autoportrait of himself in drawing. He went straight to work. He sat on our bed with a mirror posed in front of himself, I was literally lying back watching him when all of a sudden I saw the triple image that ensued. I slipped away to grab my Leica M3 with a 35mm lens, he was so concentrated and focused on what he was doing that I don't think he even realised that I had photographed him.
