Henri Cartier-Bresson Exhibition in Centre Pompidou

Henri Cartier-Bresson Exhibition at Centre Pompidou 12 February - 9 June 2014

One day, I had a chance to visit the exhibition about Henri Cartier-Bresson at Centre Pompidou in Paris. I have to admit that I do not know or even heard his name before coming to the exhibition that day. Our tour guide told us how important he was as a 'father of photojournalism. Wikipedia also states in his article that

'he was an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the master of candid photography. He helped develop the street photography or life reportage style that was coined The Decisive Moment that has influenced generations of photographers who followed.'

Art around Paris: Everything is Everywhere

 I started this post because I saw quite a number of people around different cities, especially Paris with their paints or their sketchbooks. So, I would like to gather them together and show how an artistic atmosphere are around Paris and Europe in general. And this becomes the first in my series of "Everything is Everywhere."

One Afternoon in Paris: Musée d'OrsayMusée d'Orsay

Right after class one day, I realized that the weather that afternoon was super nice. So, I went to had lunch near the river instead of at the student lounge like I normally do. However, once I got to the river, I saw Musée d'Orsay so I decided to visit for the first time after finishing my lunch. without much preparation of this place. This is one of the things that I like about Paris. Because there are many museums and touristy places for you to visit during the study abroad program, you do not really have to plan to do certain things since you will stumble across something interesting anyway.
