Check this out. An AMAZING YouTube archived interview with Bresson on Charlie Rose.
Well worth the time to watch.

A great way to spend 58 mins. Many thanks. They could lose the presenter though

Too bad that I'm still on Dial-up.
It makes Cartier-Bresson look more like Charlie ChaplinĀ  ??? (slow connection speed)

It's a worthwhile watch - although I think HCB's photos are a lot more eloquent than the man himself was, and I found the interviewer quite profoundly irritating!

Ain't the web great. I'm a regular at a biking forum and i've just followed a youtube link to a bunch of chavs trying to kill each other by using a scooter wheel powering a merry-go-round. I then come here and find a youtube link to an hour long interview with the greatest photographer ever (apols to Adams fans) and a fantastic artist.

Superb  ;D

I tracked it to Amazon.com , so you can buy a copy if you are inclined.

Funny, I just caught the link this morning while reading Alex Soth's blog. Quite cool.

Looks like I've been a little slow on this topic.  But this Stephen Shore video is pretty interesting too.
