Great Black & White Photographers Part 3

These photos are not the fact same photos from before, but they are taken by Berenice Abott
(my original photographer).
When I first saw Abbott's photos, I knew immediately that I loved the way she set them up for the viewer. She took pictures of simple, every-day things and made it an art. She was amazing at her job and I love her work. 
      

{I SEE} I see the thin wires of clothes lines shaking in the breeze above my head.
{I SMELL} I smell the odor of clean sheets and clothes.
{I HEAR} I hear the buckets of dirtied water being poured onto the ground below the windows.
{I TASTE} I taste the bitter substance that cleans the dirty sheets.
{I FEEL} I feel the soft sweep of cloth as I walk through the lines of hanging fabrics. 

{I SEE} I see the people standing on the curbs, and walking past shop windows.
{I SMELL} I smell the fabric in the suit store in front of me.
{I HEAR} I hear the chatter of the pedestrians on the street corner.
{I TASTE} I taste the tainted air of the city.
{I FEEL} I feel the metal of the fire escapes, making a trail down the side of the apartment building.

*****
I think that making a poster of pictures that my photographer took would be a good way to show my photographers work to the school.
No one would really see it but it would be the easiest way to show it.
