Fall shots.

So I meant to take more pictures of Autumn-related things, but I ran out of time.

A concise report on Man Ray

Well on this pennultimate day of the PALCS marking period I'm experienceing quite a nasty case of procrastination with existential enui-like symptoms. So I figured I may as well get this off of my pitiful to-do list.

=) Keep Calm and Carry on.

Emmanuel Radnitzky (better known as 'Man Ray') was an American artist born in Philadelphia,  who spent most of his life and career in Paris France. He worked in many fields of art, and with many different mediums, but he is perhaps most famous for his photographic work.
His work is associated extremely closely with the Surrealist and Dada movements.

 And here is an example of his photgraphic work; a 'photogram', like the one I haven't yet created :/
