And the respect continues in Arles,France at Recontres d’Arles.

Henri Cartier-Bresson
Take a close look at Magnum in Motion. This series of multi media (sorry for the antiquated description) presentations with world class photography aided by the photographers words and/music is what you want to see on your computer. Or your IPOD. Or your IPHONE. Or on TV through APPLE TV.
And when you tell your friends , they will thank you.Trust me.

And all the best for a Happy and Safe 4th of July!
