cubism and may have been involved in taing a shot just of _that_
when the opportunity came by.
Knowing how HCB worked and how thoughtful he was about his
photography, I'd bet he had that location and composition worked out
beforehand and set up *waiting* for that cyclist (or something else
interesting) to come by.
Yeah - I'll buy that... could be either. given it was France and
urban - sure. I agree that he wouldn't have clicked without something
or someone passing -
But I'm also remembering the stories of his drive in the USA needing to
come to a screeching stop while HCB hopped out to grab a bit of something.
The bike is perfectly placed - a tiny more blur perhaps would make
it even nicer.
HCB should have had blur lessons from Knarf.
har!
