Botched Kiss
When I first started taking pictures, I read a lot about Henri Cartier-Bresson, his technique, and how photographers should learn to choose the decisive moment when to click the shutter. To pounce when the right opportunity arises. I once went with a couple of friends on an out-of-town trip to check out an old brick church.
