Recent conversations here about revisiting scenes famous for having been photographed by giants has peeked my interest.
Having spent the long days of my photographic career “slaving over a hot developer tray and 8x10 studio Deardorff” instead of romping through fine art museums, I am embarrassingly ignorant of the past great work of the past great masters.
Most of what little I know concerns the Western photographers. In fact, one would think that the West was originally explored and discovered by landscape photographers.
Is there really a place called Fine Grain Gulch?
But as I am in the East, I was just wondering about the photography of early city slickers.
I have seen work by Eliot Porter in the Appalachians, Joel Meyerowitz’s Cape Light, and only tidbits of work from many, many others.
Just wondering if those better educated might like to muse in greater detail about their favorite East Coast shooters of olde.
Bet I could learn something...
