1: Candid and sublime photography
With the immediate glimpse of the two lovers kissing in photographer Robert Doisneau's most identifiable picture, "The kiss in front of the H??tel de Ville" (1950), one can see the immediacy of capturing the moment. This is one out of the one hundred and one black and white photographs, which are included in this beautifully displayed book, THREE SECONDS OF ETERNITY. Most of images were taken during different intervals in Doisneau's career, which spans from the 1930s to the 1970s that range from the absurd and eccentric, "The collector Gilbert Frugier" and "Fishing with a dry fly" to subtle moments, "Little kids with the milk" and "The brothers."
In addition, Doisneau reflects on how his time looking through a "magnifying glass" in a somewhat conversational style essay. Within his musings he comments on how he approaches a subjects when he takes a photograph, and how it has affected how he has viewed ordinary and everyday occurrences within the French landscape. Thus Doisneau photographs have a unique quality, be it with lovers in the city or street performers who key their accordion to the distinct sound that many distinguish with Paris, that will sure to make eyes look closely or breathe a laugh.
Overall, the photographs in the book will delight and enchant. Many of the photographs resonate scenes of everyday life with a dab of artistry added in to ponder or amuse. And may conjure life's simple pleasures.
