“To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.”
— Henri Cartier Bresson

Simplified Meaning:
Taking a photograph means capturing an important moment quickly, in just a tiny bit of time. Imagine you're at a birthday party and someone is about to blow out the candles. In that instant, you understand that this is a meaningful moment you want to remember. You raise your camera and click—snap! Now, you have that moment saved forever. The importance of the event and your quick reaction come together to create a photograph that holds special memories. In life, being able to notice when something significant is happening and acting quickly can help you preserve important experiences and memories.
