[Blunderov] From him I gained the understanding that the camera is a time
machine.

The sheer number of memorable images in Mr. Cartier-Bresson's work gives the
false impression that he must have shot at a rapid rate. Instead, he shot
circumspectly, frugally, conscious of making the photograph the instant the
shutter clicked, not discovering it later in the darkroom or among piles and
piles of contact sheets. He became famous, in part, for being the invisible
photographer, the eye that materializes at just the right moment. </snip>
The slide-show of his portraits (at the above link) is highly potable.
Best Regards.
