Berenice Abbott was an enormous influence on me when I was growing up in the 1950's in Brooklyn, NY, as she is to this day. I have been enamoured of New York City and passionate about photography all my life. The photographs that Berenice Abbott took of NYC in her lifetime are wonderful records of NYC as well as marvelous photographs. Abbott's book, Changing New York is a much loved reference of mine. And, through her genius, Abbott brought Atget to light. Many thanks, Berenice!
