A Moment in Photographic History:
One of the true pioneers of modern photography, Erich Salomon was born April 28, 1886. This German photographer became interested in photography when Oskar Barnack developed the 35mm miniature camera. Using 35mm, he began to take pictures in situations where cameras were not allowed. He concealed his camera in an attache case. During the second World War he was arrested and sent to the concentration camp at Auschwitz, where he died.

A Photographic Quote of Note:
The ear tends to be lazy, craves the familiar and is shocked by the unexpected; the eye, on the other hand, tends to be impatient, craves the novel and is bored by repetition.

Strong image!
Perfect b&w!
Make me reflect on my own death… soon?
I love the quote.
Great texture and vibe
I like how you framed this. Brother John has been down there a while.
Well composed and great textures. He’s been gone for a century. So much has changed in that time.
Great tones, love the composition and close up, you paid nice tribute to Bro John.
Very nicely composed image. I like the texture and the lighting!
eroded in the course of time, yes, a strong picture
