He had no interest in photography until after reading french photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson's book, The Decisive Moment, which he described as " the first serious book I found, from many awful books... I dont understand it a bit, and than it sank in, and I realized, my God, this is a great one."

dimlerr — 2014-05-21 17:17:49 UTC

As usual, his photographs feature simple subjects. This one again though exemplifies his style because if you examine the piece closely you notice little nuances that define his career and are continuously present throughout his work.

Red Ceiling, 1973

dimlerr — 2014-05-21 17:19:46 UTC

Red Ceiling, also known as Greenwood, Mississippi, it is considered his most famous piece. As with any artist, any one of their pieces could be argued to be their best or most famous, but this one is considered that because of how obviously he uses his die transfer technique and the saturation of the red throughout the piece making it seem menacing and vivid at the same time.

Weegee

dimlerr — 2014-05-21 17:25:12 UTC

Weegee was the pseudonym of Ascher Fellig who was born on June 12, 1899 and died December 26, 1968.An emigrant from Austria-Hungry now present day Ukraine. He is known for his stark black and white street photography. He developed his style through the 1930's and 1940's while he was working as press photographer in New York City's Lower East Side. His photography was derived from the city's emergency services which he followed around. And when asked about his work and beginnings he had this to say: In my particular case I didn't wait 'til somebody gave me a job or something, I went and created a job for myself—freelance photographer. And what I did, anybody else can do. What I did simply was this: "I went down to Manhattan Police Headquarters and for two years I worked without a police card or any kind of credentials. When a story came over a police teletype, I would go to it. The idea was I sold the pictures to the newspapers. And naturally, I picked a story that meant something."
