Martin Munkacsi’s iconic image of children racing towards the ocean inspired Henri Cartier-Bresson. “It is the only photo that influenced me,” he recalled. “There is such intensity in this image, such spontaneity, such joie de vivre, such miraculousness, that I am still dazzled by it, even today.” [quoted from source]
