Glad I watched the vid and made a connection with an old magazine I have been saving for years because of the Cartier-Besson photograph on the cover.anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-91500422477688877812014-08-23T00:31:06.731-05:002014-08-23T00:31:06.731-05:00mike (again) ~ What an amazing young man!

Still, don't put yourself down. Aquarius has a heart as big as the Rift Valley. So many things live and breathe and have their habitation in that heart that Aqua can come off not particularly involved with any of them. They are though. Just not up close and personal ;)<br /><br />Giginoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-86906956866982462482014-08-22T09:55:20.686-05:002014-08-22T09:55:20.686-05:00Gigi ~ I'd not considered that, usually connec...Gigi ~ I'd not considered that, usually connecting photography with Pisce/Neptune, but now you mention it, Cancer does make sense too. The sign's sentimentality and "holding -on" trait. My mother had a stellium in Cancer and she adored her family photograph collection - often could be found pouring over them. I inherited some of that via Cancer rising, but find it painful to pour over them too often now that all are gone - but me. (Getting sentimental...Aquarius says stop that!)<br /><br />Although, in a way, that Cancer sign trait refers more to the feelings of the "receiver" of the photograph than to the "giver" - person who produces it. But then the "giver" must have that instinct too, in another layer of their nature.<br /><br />I'm now reminding myself of the film from Monday's post "The Giver" - The Giver stored memories of the community.

What a life - living for long periods in far away places, indulging in his beloved photography. Yet he tired of it eventually, wore himself out with the travel perhaps, it couldn't have been easy back then, then he took to his paints and pencils once more.<br /><br />Fascinating character!

Or drawing, for that matter.<br /><br />Cancer-energy can be very visual and visionary, plus it is a hold-fast energy. Sign least likely (along with Taurus!), to "kiss the joy as it flies". Cancer-types do love their souvenirs and mementoes; a little bit of frozen time, they can take out and look at.

Thoroughly enjoyed his thoughts and perspective toward life and his work. I felt I was part of the movie set for "My Dinner with Andre" and I imagine that sitting with Cartier-Bresson over food and drink must have been a delight. Hearing his own descriptions of his photography gave an added dimension.<br /><br />I doubt that he had an easy life, but he surely made the most of it and derived some positive views. His remarks in the video lead me to believe that he learned to astutely observe the world and its peoples...perhaps the stellium in his 7th house, the not-self...and the shared resources of the 8th house. He captured his romance with people on film, as an observer, not a practitioner...he made the remark that he hates people...LOL. I suspect that Uranus in the 1st would have set him safely apart from his observations in the view-finder. The camera allowed him to partake in the world, but was also a partition allowing autonomy.mikenoreply@blogger.com
