Didn't know if you saw this. The writing is rather cloying, but thought you might be interested.

That's why I love this place. I'd never heard of arbus until Don mentioned her awhile ago.

That's interesting... If you asked me to list some "famous photographers" that come directly to mind, she'd be on the tip of my tongue: Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Edward Steichen, Cartier-Bresson, Diane Arbus, Phillipe Halsmann, Richard Avedon.

That's the thing... I read so many books when I first started. However they were all technicals. I never went to the art section. So before starting here, I knew Ansel Adams and Brandenburg, and that's about it. Never heard of Weston, Cartier-Bresson, still don't know Steichen or Halsmann -- so I'll have to go look them up.

Steichen = father of photography as we know it :-)

thank you, Wendy! it was a very interesting article, I learned quite a bit from it, and yes a bit cloying here and there.

since we're name-dropping... Alfred Stieglitz
