If photographs were words they would be poems, little slices lifted out of life, illuminated by light.

Capturing Action

“Action can be all sorts of things. Sports come to mind, of course, but I want us to think about action in the sense of a “decisive moment.” One moment, one instance, one frame that pulls everything together. Yes, I want to see some of you get out and shoot skiing, but also keep in mind Henri Cartier-Bresson’s iconic decisive moment images. –Stephen Alvarez, Capturing Action curator and National Geographic photographer

We want to see your action photos! Submit to the Capturing Action assignment by February 13 for a chance to be published in the story.
