Thank you for posting this.
TRJ was a great photographer. Documentary, as all photography must be, and with unforced natural wit and humanity.
In a class of his own. He died very young, a deep loss to photography.

Great photo and great background story, thanks!
Berenice Abbott is such a powerful photographer: always technically solid and visually resonant, fantastic tonality with those luminous highlights, --- but never "artistic". Instead it is always the subject that quietly takes centre stage. "Straight Photography" in its purest form. Atget and Walker Evans are related but perhaps too poetic to be straight Straight? Lewis Hine might be the closest.
