For this reason, spreading awareness about the natural and severe threat of climate change is necessary. However, it does not make sense to consider your home or bathroom as a polar bear sanctuary.

The photographer says in the explanation of this picture:

Sometimes a photo alone cannot convey those special moments’ emotions, memories, and moods, and you need more. For example, the image can be scanned to get the right photo size to achieve creativity. This photo is intended as a small tribute to a great master. Henri Cartier-Bresson knew how to always show me reality with new eyes So that it is more humane, artistic, and poetic. His photographs, taken between 1950 and 1970 in Basilicata – my homeland – as well as around the world, changed my perspective on everything, made an extraordinary impression on me, and became my great source of inspiration.

Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer who played a crucial role in inventing and expanding photojournalism (news photography) and instant and street photography. With his famous Leica 35 mm camera, he traveled to the far corners of the world and patiently and almost imperceptibly recorded the scenes. His unique ability to capture the “decisive moment” of his precise eye for scene design, his unique way of working, and his literary expression in the theory and practice of photography made him a legendary figure among his contemporary photojournalists.

Cartier’s artwork and style have had a lasting and unattainable impact. In the global photo market, his influence is well evident. His single photos and photo stories adorned the world’s most prestigious magazines for three decades, and different versions of his photographs were displayed on the walls of American and European museums. He was also one of the founders of Magnum Photo Agency in New York and Paris.
