Black and White Photographers 3

1. I'm not sure exactly what it was that drew me to Eugene Atget's photos, but there's something aesthetically pleasing about each photo he took. He captured early Italy's unique beauty in the simplest and perfect way. I've always loved the style and culture of Italy, and seeing the older images of what cities looked like, it's intriguing to say the least.







2. In the third photo, if I was in that spot I would be able to smell the water and the soil around the trees. The water doesn't appear to be crystal clear, so I think it would smell like soil or plants that might be drifting in it. I could see the building on the other side of the river, and maybe some people that could be walking by. I could hear the tree branches swaying and rubbing against each other in the breeze, and I'd feel the wind on my skin. Maybe I could feel the stone pavement, and the bark of the tree in front of me. The only thing I could think of tasting is smell of the dead vegetation?

3. I think making a blog about Eugene Atget would be a perfect way to portray his life and photography style.
