Atget did beautiful work! I love the graininess that you don't get with modern camera.

Old photos evoke such feeling. I can't look at them without wondering what happened during those moments, that era, what became of the people in the photos...

There is a quiet beauty about those
black and white pictures, they seem to show more, show more imperfections. I love this.
