Static Movement

France 1932, Henri Cartier-Bresson

Still photography isn't always still. Movement can grace the surface of a photograph, and the famous Henri Cartier-Bresson photograph above is a pure demonstration of this. The lines off the staircase spiral like an awkward nautilus shell towards the curved shape of the road. Everything flows towards the left, and to end this dynamic flow of line and shape; the blurred movement of a man on his bicycle riding down the streets of the Var, France.
