Eugène Atget Workshop in Paris

[Clemens]

We all know Atget's photos... this workshop is about going to the same places that he photographed, using large format cameras, and showing how they look today.

The photographer who offers these workshops is a well-known architecture photographer in Mainz, Germany. In the workshop he uses prints made from Atget's plates, given to him by a museum.

I'll have to get a lottery ticket.
Maybe. Just maybe.

In addition, the equipment Atget was using was already outdated for his time.

What was he using?

[Bruce Barlow]

I wish, I wish, I wish I could even approach the quiet poetry of Atget.

This would be a blast, but ultimately frustrating...maybe.

I should wander Keene, NH and Brattleboro, VT and practice.
