johnny and jim,

is that man jumping over a puddle hcb's 'behind the saint-lazare station'
(1932)? that one, imo, is a beautiful shot that's definitely more than a
man jumping over a puddle.

on the same subject, the following thought by édouard boubat:

"one must not be hampered by the apparent subject: the landscapes, the
costumes. the world's situations are many, but a picture reveals more than
what is visible: a bunch of flowers hints at the hand that picked them."
