Henri Cartier-Bresson, the father of photojournalism, coined the phrase, "The Decisive Moment."

The Decisive Moment is all about recognizing photographic opportunities and seizing those moments by capturing them with the camera.

Recognizing opportunities and seizing moments takes an attuned compositional eye and technical competence in order to use photographic equipment -- cameras, lenses and flashes -- to capture fleeting images with both beauty and clarity.
