A Moment in Photographic History:
USAnian photographer Joe Schwartz was born July 6, 1913. His photographs are stunning works, mostly of ordinary people and interracial harmony.
A Photographic Quote of Note:
I believe all artists, if they are not lying to themselves, must believe that the best part of their work, or even their life, is in front of them. To look only to the past and to say ‘those were the best years, when I was young’ is to say that in the future there is nothing.

Gosh what an atmospheric shot – this is awesome Michael! The dark tones add a wonderful gloom and almost an ominous quality to the photo.
Loved todays quote too – how very wise the words.
really great moody image
It does indeed look like a dark and stormy night! Nice mood.
Great moody shot. I really like the tones!
I agree with others. The dark tones and that spooky tree create quite a mood. like something is about to happen. nice shot.
moody indeed
I agree. Very moody. Great shot. Nice work.
Superb, Michael. There’s that element of menace brooding away. The unwelcoming wet pavement and the wind in the tree. LOve it
Very dark and ominous. There’s something that gives me an uneasy feeling about this shot.
Fantastic dark and mystic atmosphere in this photo. Nice !
