Decisive Moment


Recommended Posts

Neil D. Thanx, but, er, the boxers were Rocky Marciano and Jersey Joe Walcott, it was 1953, when I was 9--somebody else took it; I didn't even know what a Graflex was. The pic is known as "The Punch".

 

D.P. Thanks for the fill-in. I haven't seen that book since about 10 years after the Punch, I just remember a bit.

I am not entirely sure how this impacts the above discussion -- but Cartier-Bresson's <i>"Behind the Gare St. Lazare"</i>, which I really do think is a great photo, is only about 30% of the negative for that frame.

 

<p>It may mean that the image we are presented with is the decisive 30% of the shot. Or that the other 70% was decisive enough, only at some other moment.
