Yours Truly

Last week I found myself with a couple hours to kill (I showed up at my Archival Representation class only to discover that it was cancelled), so I decided to spend some time at the Carnegie Museum of Art. The museum is currently presenting an exhibition of vintage photographic prints called Yours Truly, and I thought it might be fun to share a few of my favorite images here on the blog. These photos stood out to me for all sorts of reasons, from the enviable outfit that the subject of Atget's photo is wearing to the dreamy quality of falling rain captured by Doisneau, and I hope they are inspiring to all of you as well.

  2. Thanks for sharing these images. Doisneau's carousel is a beautiful photograph. And I love the composition of the first picture. I wish I could visit the exhibition!
