BRO JOHN BURNS
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.

Well composed and great textures. He’s been gone for a century. So much has changed in that time.
