One Frame Movie / Flash Fiction Photography

I have this new idea since yesterday when I talked to beansidhe. It is usually the case for me to liken a photo to a scene from a movie. I think it would be nice to add buzzword "one frame movie" to your photographs which looks like a movie still. They may have a text associated to them. But what is important is that they should reveal a story. Think about this like minimalist story telling or flash fiction. An example may be a post with caption "Loneliness" and a photograph where you have someone sitting near a light source in an empty room but without a shadow . This was an extremely minimalist example. But it need not be that pure. The joy is in deriving the story as a result of a thinking process. However, you could have put "Even without a shadow" as the body text for the above example. Maybe better is to have a small text that tells the story and a photo that depicts the story in a cinematographic way. Hope you liked the idea.

The Decisive Moment

Henri Cartier-Bresson, being one of the fathers of photojournalism, defines the decisive moment as "the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression". To put it into pixels, check this photo here.

I call all Buzznetters to add buzzword "the decisive moment" for their photos that fit into above definition. It is something candid, something spontaneous. It is those pictures that you say "I was lucky". However it is not about luck. It is about seeing half of a second ahead and pressing the shutter.
