many of which you could buy as posters (for example the 1st one in the 5th
row of this set, and the 4th one in the 3rd row of the Amerique set).
Almost everything I have found about him is written in French unfortunately.
Obviously he had a good eye, so to speak. I think he used a "primitive"
lens, and he hand coloured some of his prints, but I wonder whether any
other technique contributing to the overall moodiness of his work can be
identified by any interested list members.
If you look at the last two in the 5th row (the sign and the building)
in blurred and sharp, you almost have to wonder if all the shots didn't
start out sharp and the blurring was done in post processing. I don't
particularly like the blurred images as it is not a smooth blur but
rather a jarring one.
