Some people talk about the weather, most of us do nothing about the weather. Except for Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908 – August 3, 2004). Witness his “Behind the Gare St. Lazare, Paris” (1932).

Cartier-Bresson, born in August, died in August, is ever present this August with scattered rain punctuated by downpours and occasional drizzles, and, of course, plenty of puddles.
