Lens culture photographer interview: Alexey Titarenko (audio) Atget: The Art of Documentary Photography. Atget made many of his most moving and meditative photographs in the last decade of his life at the parks and gardens in and around Paris.
He had worked at most of them—Versailles, Saint-Cloud, and the Luxembourg Garden—since early in his career, but these late photographs have a qualitatively different sensibility: formally bold and synthetic, they are also atmospheric, mysterious, and resonant. Their significance for Atget is suggested by the separate subseries that he set up for each near the end of his life: "Versailles," "Saint-Cloud," "Sceaux," and "Parisian Parks. " Saint-Cloud (Hêtre), 1919/1921, 2002.73.15 Atget made photographs of trees throughout his career, from before 1898 until a month before he died in 1927. He often revisited the same thickets—sometimes photographing the identical trees—in different years and seasons. Trees had been a motif of French photographers since the earliest days of photography.

TANY KELY Photography. Wegman. Alias Johnny Stiletto. Mitch Dobrowner - Fine Art Photography. Growing up on Long Island (Bethpage), NY – I felt lost in my late teens.
Worried about my future direction in life, my father gave me an old Argus rangefinder to fool around with. Little did he realize what an important gesture that would turn out to be for me. After doing some research and seeing the images of Minor White and Ansel Adams I quickly became addicted to photography. To make a long story short, I left home at 21, quitting my job, leaving my friends and family to see the American Southwest for myself. In California I eventually met my wife, and together we had 3 children, and created our own design studio - and the tasks of running a business and raising a family took a priority to Photography.
Years later, in early 2005, inspired by my wife, children and friends - I again picked up my cameras. I feel that I owe much to the great photographers of the past, especially Ansel Adams, for their dedication to the craft and for inspiring me in my late teens.
