Amazing
photographer from small town Rumania. Considering his studio was
demolished the
year
he retired (1960) and his house was demolished the year he died
(1984), it's a wonder that
any
of his photos survived. All of his early portraits were done on
glass plates (silver coated Agfa)
1930s
photos are always the most haunting ... so many countries in a headlong
rush to become
thoroughly
modern, with tragedy just around the corner.
By
the way ... the really nice colourized photos are done by Manos Athanasiadis
(see
below)
Talking
of which ... Peter Jackson on colourizing 1st World War footage
...
