I procured 2 photography books this weekend. They are old how to books from 1970. They are just Time Life books, but they are really pretty. One is about color, the other light. Light in 1970 sure was beautiful.

This photograph is from Ernst Holtzer. He took photos all across Persia when he was working for the German government constructing telegraph lines all through the country. His work was discovered many years after his death by a granddaughter who opened his trunks after they had been subjected to flooding and found all his glass negatives in perfect condition.

This photo by Ronald Mesaros was taken at sunrise. The idea is that the girl in the photograph doesn't know the danger she is in, and when the sun rises the danger will be gone.
