Friday Quote

By cherylmachatdorskind

Kairos is a Greek word describing the opportune moment, the right occasion, or as poetically described in Wikipedia, “a moment of indeterminate time in which something special happens.“  Henri Cartier Bresson coined this blink-of-an-eye photo recognition The Decisive Moment.
“Clear sightedness” and “a good eye” are phrases that come to mind.  Kairos is the opposite of chance.  According to Bresson, the photographer is always on alert. The world matters at every moment.
“ A photograph is the simultaneous recognition in a fraction of a second of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of forms.”
~Henri Cartier Bresson~
 
This weekend go out and be in the moment. If you capture The Decisive Moment, upload and share your photo on my facebook page.
