The Three Boys at Lake Tanganyika is a photograph taken by Martin Munkácsi in 1929 or 1930 and it made him famous.
This photograph inspired Henri Cartier-Bresson, the father of modern photojournalism.
It shows three naked young African boys, caught in near-silhouette, running into the surf of Lake Tanganyika. It captured the freedom, grace and spontaneity of their movement and their joy at being alive.
