Great video. I just finished reading Berenice Abbott: A Life In Photography, by Julia Van Haaften. Abbott was an icon of photography, breaking new ground in many areas of the art form. She was also a very unique lady, who lived an interesting life. I highly recommend the book,
Beautifully put together video of a great photographer. Thanks. I read a 500 page biography of Berenice that was terribly written but still very interesting, She met seemingly everyone of note in the arts over the course of her fascinating life. Plus she had the coolest haircut ever. ;-)
Great episode. Looking forward to what follows. I’ve been watching previous episodes and I’ve finally caught up, which is, frankly, bitter sweet as I have thoroughly enjoyed my daily dose of T. Hopper and catching up means waiting for the next episode. 😝 ✌️
Wow, what an amazing and fascinating woman, thank you for bringing her to my attention. I guess she must have bumped shoulders with Lee Miller at times.
Hello Hopper, Jose from Puerto Rico. Another amazing video! I definitely agree that you would make an amazing teacher. Your style of narrating the lives of these amazing artists is so loose and yet so compelling that I could listen all day. ...And yes, I would definitely go out and shoot barefoot if that's the price of admission to one of your classes. ;-)
Great video on a wonderful photographer and photographic inventor. I admire the varied styles of work she produced over her career. The light beams captured in her ‘Pennsylvania Station’ image reminded me of the light beams in Josef Sudek’s ‘St. Vitus Cathedral’ image shown in your FFYSK #5 video (I expect a lot of photographers have used this particular technique over the years).
You know her photo actually reminded me of his photo too when I first looked at them. She was a great example and role model to a lot of us. Thank you for watching!
This was a treat! I really love and subscribe to the philosophy of universal artistry. And she really embodied it. On the same level that I can appreciate an artist dedicated to one discipline or area of it, I also deeply value the refusal to confine oneself to just one thing. It's more than duality, it's like an open frontier to creation. It re-enforces a freedom that can come and go a lot throughout successes in art. It all connects. Lovely work as always, my friend.
Another great informative video, T. I love the shot of the Manhattan Bridge. It might be cliche, but when I visit New York after this pandemic is over I am going to get my own "Once Upon a Time in America" shot.
Very true, I think a lot of us are definitely redefining the concept of cliché with the pandemic and will start value more things that we didn't use too. At least I began doing that. Cheers for watching Keith!
Do you provide period appropriate footage to accompany the artist as a means of mood setting? Or are the two incidental? Noticed a similar intro to another artist in your channel. Your videos and visions I find are needed personally so thank you for being here!
Hey Tristen, in my eyes, footage helps relate with the content, with the time the artist lived in and helps understand sometimes how they saw the world or how their reality looked like. If that makes sense. Thank you for watching!
"...to become Man Ray's assistant..." And in New York went on to tutor the photographer Naomi Savage, Man Ray's niece, who went off to Paris and... it goes on. Such was the revolving door of New York photography.
Thank you so much appreciate the support! What device are you using to watch ? So far they don’t appear to small on my screens (smartphone, tv, laptop). I’ll be more careful about it anyways. Thank you!
It is indeed inspiring how much creative people can do when they find their groove, like this woman did. Thank you for the video.
There are photographs of the street that my office sits on in some of her books. Small world. ❤️📚
Small world indeed. Thank you for watching Matt 🤍

Concise and interesting as usual. Thanks
Thank you Geoff!
Great video as always! Berenice Abbot is a giant in the photography world. Her photos are larger than life!
Thank you Reinmann. Her photography and herself were larger than life!
Love this. New York City at Night is one of my favorite all time photographs.
Its really incredible. Thank you for watching Edward!
WOW! I really dug learning about her. Always learn so much from you. You're my new favorite TV show.
Thank you! Stay tuned for the next episodes usually weekly but unlike normal TV there's no schedule for this show ahah
Love being introduced to so many great historical photographers; thank you!
Great video, informative and useful! I just saw the Abbott exhibition at the MET yesterday and this added so much context!

Completely subscribe to everything you said there. Thank you for your support John! Big cheers!
I never new that she took the photo of James Joyce. Thank you.

I love your content, hugs from Argentina
Thank you Luciano, much love from the UK.
Thank you 🙂
You're welcome!
Excellent vid! 👍✌🧡
Thank you Joseph!
the first word that spring to mind for me was "clean". the images are very crisp and dare I say modern looking
Very true!
She is right out of a “Ayn Rand” novel. Thanks for another great show and informative documentary!!!!!!!
Thank you Terry! :)
Never realised it was her that took the picture of Atget. She took many great iconic photographs.
🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏻

She seemed truly versatile, only something one can dream of being…
"...to become Man Ray's assistant..." And in New York went on to tutor the photographer Naomi Savage, Man Ray's niece, who went off to Paris and... it goes on. Such was the revolving door of New York photography.
Such is the world. A small small world!
love your videos and content, however why are the photos so small im having a hard time appreciating the photos due to their small size.
Thank you so much appreciate the support! What device are you using to watch ? So far they don’t appear to small on my screens (smartphone, tv, laptop). I’ll be more careful about it anyways. Thank you!
If you are not teaching photography at a university, you should!
I would be that unorthodox teacher who tells you to throw your Leica away and run around photographing barefoot. ahah
