Look to a Master - Werner Bischof (1900-1950)


"SCOTLAND. Town of Edinburgh. Penguins from the zoo taking their weekly walk. The director of the zoo walks them through the city every week in order to attract people to the zoo."
Couldn't find the name of this one or the year it was taken

What interests me about the work of Werner Bischof is some of the quirkiness of his photos, like the penguins walking down the street. I just think that's it's interesting seeing something like that, and that a photographer would take a picture of it. The second one interests me more for the dark tones that it gives off, like the dark sky, the crumbling town, the tank covered in snow, it's like you can almost feel the cold of the place when he took the photo.
