Featured Photographer

  Andre Kertesz was a Hungarian photographer. He was one of the first to explore photojournalism. Because of his style he wasn't  originally accepted into the artistic world. Kertesz also has an interesting life story. He was expected to be a stock-broker by his family but decided to follow his dream of photography instead. He served in WWI and afterwards settled down in Paris to follow his passion. Then when WWII hit he moved to America because of the violence in France. He worked commission jobs until he could build up a reputation and became internationally famous for his work. He later died in New York City at the age of 91. 

  I really like Kertesz. He was able to fight thru what he was being told was art and create what was his own. I also really enjoy his story. Its filled with War, disappointment, struggle, and finally, achievement. It sounds like a great movie.
