“The banter’s tremendous, the language is horrendous”

Cartier Bresson meets Derek Pye, talks about Monster Munch.

A classic encounter within photography:

“A while ago Henri Cartier-Bresson had the great pleasure of meeting one of his heroes. Me. In this never before seen interview I spoke to Henri about his life and work and my influence on him. “

Perhaps a good wedding present?

Note to students.,..the entire album (which is so good you will cry) was recorded in one day, in a church, with one microphone. For $250.
