The term "decisive moment" is not Cartier-Bresson's. It is a translator's
interpretation of the French title of one of HC-B's books.

A lot of people like to think it means: "I stood there and took just one
single perfect frame of something that just happened to pass by me -- and
that's why I am a genius. "

What it really means is: "I captured an image of a spit-second."

Nothing is real. It is all noise.
