Inspired by Old

When my passion for photography was in discovery, I spent many weekends at Borders flipping through collections by the photographer’s of old.  Two of my favorites have always been Cartier-Bresson and Brassai (those links are image searches on Google so you can get straight to their work).  My absolute favorite collection of all is “Brassai: Paris by Night”, a must have for any person who appreciates light, contrast and texture.  It still surprises me how much that book evokes from places in me I don’t often pay attention to.

I photographed Dave & Sarah at the Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna.  I was looking forward to the lighting and mood it has at night.  The schedule didn’t allow, but I did get one photo that reminds me (vaguely, as my talent pales in comparison) a bit of something one of the photographers of old might have taken as a couple strolled through the city.

Check out those collections…I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!!
