He preferred instead to compare it to archery. In the early 1950s, Georges Braque gave him a little book entitled <EM>Zen in the Art of Archery</EM> (1948), which was to have a major influence on his concept of photography, or at least on his way of describing it.... In this tiny work [by Eugen Herrigel], and particularly in its description of <EM>satori</EM>, a state of spiritual enlightenment, Cartier-Bresson found a notion of concentration that was astonishingly similar to his own practice: forgetting oneself, and putting all one's senses on alert in order to be able to seize on whatever offered itself.'
