Here I am with an hour long BRAVO TV DVD produced by a North American TV network simply because they thought I took some interesting photos, travelled the world doing so and having a personal collection of edited images in the National Archives of Canada of 280,000 images. Along with another 100,000 in the National Gallery of Canada. 380,000, a lot of clicks, 99% Leicas! It's the largest collection of photography by a single photographer in the history of Canada! Seems cool to me, but I never thought about the numbers until the TV program was aired. :-) Dang that sure is a pile of "Happy Snapping!" But just think about all the fun and film I had and used! :-) Many of you have the DVD already with very favorable positive comments. Thank you Anyway if yer interested? e-me on Friday sale day.

Some of the speaking is in English, but the majority is not. Snippet from NYT review: "Taking pictures means holding your breath with all your faculties concentrated on capturing a fleeting reality," declares the pioneering photojournalist Henri Cartier-Bresson near the end of Heinz Butler's austere documentary portrait. In this small but stately film, completed a year before the pioneering photojournalist Henri Cartier- Bresson's death at 95 in August 2004, he slowly leafs through volumes of his black-and-white photographs, shows some of his later drawings and muses on his art to the severe, prickly strains of Bach piano music. Even when viewed secondhand in a movie, these photographs are something to see. Their formal elegance is balanced by an intense, pulsing humanity. The documentary, which subscribes to the Great Man school of reverential portraiture, is not a biography but an interview (in French) conceived as a master class on art appreciation, with guest commentators augmenting Cartier-Bresson's own sparsely chosen words. ?
