I quit the other platforms, disgusted by their conduct. I'm a fulltime carer, don't have any interesting content. I used to shoot film, enjoyed the process. Posting art I like, mainly historic, things of beauty keep me going.

Daido Moriyama
Black and white photograph of a young woman, she's leaning against a wall, taking a drag of a cigarette. The image is quite dark and grainy, strong contrast, there's a light source above her, to the right, illuminating the top of her head and the hand holding the cigarette. Image taken by Daido Moriyama.

Daido Moriyama, Artificial Underwater Flower, 1990 #blackandwhite
A black and white photograph of a flash illuminated glass, inside the glass is a plastic flower and clear liquid, probably a spirit of some kind. A well manicured woman is sticking three of her fingers into the glass, possibly to retrieve the flower. The background is darkness, only the glass and hand are lit.

Irving Penn, 1949, "Girl Behind Wine Bottle”, Jean Patchett #blackandwhite
Very cleverly composed black and white photograph of a woman, getting a light for her cigarette. The cigarette is in a holder, she's wearing black opera gloves. The image is shot through a wine bottle which is standing at the front of the frame, the focus is actually on the wine bottle so everything behind it is slightly out of focus. This also breaks the image up due to the curvature of the glass. Image titled "Girl Behind Wine Bottle”, 1949 Jean Patchett, shot by Irving Penn

Man Ray, Dora Maar, 1936 #blackandwhite
A Black and white mixed media photograph, not exactly sure how this was created. A woman with her hands pressed against a window, her eyes partially closed, there is also a second ghostly exposure which looks like a negative duplicate of the first image and a third exposure of broken glass. It's a multi layered, multi exposure image. The image was created by Man Ray of Dora Maar in 1936

Come plié with us, Isadora Duncan Dancers, New York c1920 - Arnold Genthe
A black and white photograph, I think from what I could find out that this is called a nitrate negative. It looks a little like an abstract drop cloth, although I think it's probably the developing process that causes this effect. Three women, wearing quite elaborate gowns, standing sort of back to back, their fingers are touching. They are looking into space, sort of distant. The image is called Come plié with us, Isadora Duncan Dancers, New York c1920 - Arnold Genthe (1869-1942)

Ed Van der Elsken, Girl in the Subway, Tokyo 1981 #blackandwhite
Black and white photograph of a Japanese woman, wearing a white blouse, dark skirt, stands on a subway platform, sideways on, looking slightly downwards, towards the camera. There are other travelers also walking around on the platform. The train is probably approaching as you can see a distant light source. It's a very contrasty image, rich in blacks.
