Great Black and White Photos Part II
Alfred Stieglitz was a very skilled photographer that took photos in black and white. Stieglitz was born in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1864. He went to school in Germany for engineering in 1881 and went to Technische Hochschule in Berlin for photochemistry in 1882. When Stieglitz got back to New York in 1890, he got in a partnership with a photogravure company and took photos of streets. He then went back to Europe in 1894 and joined a pictorialist society called The Linked Ring located in London. Eight years later, Stieglitz tries to tell the world that photography could show as much artistic expression as painting and sculpture. In 1903, which was a year later, he became the director and publisher of Camera Works , a magazine with its graphic section worked on by Edward Steichen. Steichen and Stieglitz opened the "Little Galleries of the Photo Secession" also known as "291" on Fifth Avenue in New York City in 1905. The gallery involved Stiegli
I like the way that you focused on the metal chain, that gave the picture a cool effect. It shows simplicity, but because of the way you focused the camera, the picture isn't boring.
