Strand reviews Stieglitz
« on: April 08, 2016, 11:56:53 PM »
I came across this article today. I'm not a huge fan of Stieglitz, but I am of Paul Strand (weird, I know). I thought I would just skim the article and get an overview, but once I started reading, I couldn't stop. If you like either of these photographers, it's well worth the time it takes to get through it. It starts on p. 62.

Thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed very much the Stieglitz gallery and the ABC's of enlarging article. On the other side, wedding photography has never been the same.

Thanks James. I will have a look at this as I'm hoping to go and see the Strand retrospective currently showing at the V&A in London.  I have a few of Strand's books, including one he did of a trip to the Scottish Hebrides.  I like his work but I don't know nearly enough about Stieglitz.
