My favorite photographer. Printed by Berenice Abbott, who was a fine photographer herself. Her work has been featured here several times as well as Atget. He was mostly unknown until the end of his life when he was discovered by Man Ray and the Surrealists. Berenice Abbott started as Man Ray's darkroom assistant. She is the one who came into possession of Atget's negatives and was heavily responsible for making his work more widely known.
