Oct 15: Clarence H. White Morning, 1905
I'm constantly drawn to the pictorial photographers of the late 19th and early 20th century. A large number of my absolute favorite photographs are from this era.
Excellent choice this week, Ken.

An ardent pictorialist at the time, he wrote: "I am more than ever convinced that the only possible way to interpret the scenes hereabout is through an impressionistic vision... Form, in a material sense, is not only unnecessary, but sometimes useless and undesirable."
Ken, I think you misplaced this thread. According to the guidelines of this forum it seems it does not belong to the Announcements at all. (Announcements: Non-repetitive announcements about LF related gallery openings, workshops, new books, trade shows, and other educational opportunities. Events can also be added to the forum Calendar.)
I cannot figure out how your personal liking of this or that photo belongs to this kind of announcements. Especially when it is proclaimed on a weekly basis. Does anyone here have the same feeling?
I know you give a lot of importance to your liking of this or that photo or even this or that perspective for that matter but does it mean that everybody can use this post category to proclaim his or her own aesthetic personal preferences? As a moderator (!) shouldn't you know better where to place these repetitive "announcements" of your personal taste? Just a thought.
Thank you - I have moved this thread to the "On Photography" section.

I find this to be an enjoyable thread and the way Ken has set it up allows me to scroll through and see different images. Not a bad format for any others to use and show what they like.
Keep them coming Ken.
given the wealth of information in this thread, the introductions to work of photographers one may not have known before, and the time someone has taken to share that, what you got out of this was it's in the wrong category???
(sorry ken, feel free to remove this.. was just written in disbelief... )
