The Hare and the Tortoise

Not every race is won by running.

The challenge: the hare on a tree stump and the tortoise face to face, with autumn leaves falling

Aesop’s fable in three decisive moments.

The challenge, the hare’s nap and the tortoise’s victory. Rather than the race itself, the images focus on the characters: their confidence, their patience and their expressions.
