ah, Faurer...

I'm too a fellow fan of his early work, which I find
amazing, for the poetry
and the mistery in his images, sometimes close
to his friend Robert Frank's work.

also, remember that he also shot with Leicas, III series
and later M series. the old street photo Kodachromes
were shot at about 40 ASA, at night. even with Times Square's
harsh lights, it was no small victory to get printable
shots, let alone work of such high quality

about Faurer and Philly: a son of Russian Jew immigrants,
he lived in Philadelphia for many years

thanks for the post, Kyle Cassidy
