Spiritual Enlightment_Photography Masters: Eugene Atget

This is the first of a series...In the first three decades of the twentieth century, Eugène Atget (1857-1927) tirelessly and sensitively photographed the city of Paris and its environs. Though Atget considered himself a photographic illustrator of Paris and not an artist, and refused to allow himself to be judged by fashionable contemporary artistic mores or use his socially accepted status as "artisan," he inadvertently established himself as one of the 20th century's greatest photographers. It is the intuitive visual quality of his work that has continued to attract the attention and admiration of later photographers who—as the exhibition demonstrates—have shared ideas of the "ready-made," common aesthetic approaches, related subject matter, and the use of serial photography.

Adget was starting every morning with the first light....walking through Paris everyday as a lonely figure/shadow...w as collecting unique images...i tried to apply the breath of a man who walks and carries the camera all day on his back...the result not so successful ...will update it soon

Easy suggestion: Delete the audio.

(If you want to get fancy put a song in, but try to make it appropriate to the images.)

I am glad you realized its not successful.

[HeirOfEnoch]

yeah... the heavy breathings pretty creepy...

Something is missing from every image.

Like "The Scream"..it is silent, but unmistakably missing...

Even in the opening shot of Eugene Atget? The first impression is he is missing something...Something in him is "not there" and he does not know what it is...
