    Ernst Haas « Among the subjects that he has photographed, there is one that is very dear to Ernst Haas, New York City. For nearly 40 years, he has taken pictures of a city that as a child in Austria he could only dream about. With the help of his friends at Magnum, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa, he definitively relocated to New York in 1951. For his first black and white photographic series, he focused on the complex architecture and abstract lines of the city landscape. However it was the city’s incessant movement and lively colors that inspired his next color series on Kodachrome film.  His first color works were so overwhelming and revolutionary for the time period that in 1953 Life Magazine ran a 24 page spread in two consecutive issues. The original title was “Pictures of a Magic City”. from La Lettre

    My love, she sleeps! Oh, may her sleep,  As it is lasting, so be deep!  Soft may the worms about her creep!  Far in the forest, dim and old,  For her may some tall vault unfold —  Some vault that oft hath flung its black  And wingèd panels fluttering back,  Triumphant, o’er the crested palls,  Of her grand family funerals — Some sepulchre, remote, alone,  Against whose portal she hath thrown,  In childhood, many an idle stone —  Some tomb from out whose sounding door  She ne’er shall force an echo more,  Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!  It was the dead who groaned within. The Sleeper by E.A.Poe photo by me, 2007 [Novo Groblje,Beograd]

    My love, she sleeps! Oh, may her sleep,  
    As it is lasting, so be deep!  
    Soft may the worms about her creep!  
    Far in the forest, dim and old,  
    For her may some tall vault unfold —  
    Some vault that oft hath flung its black  
    And wingèd panels fluttering back,  
    Triumphant, o’er the crested palls,  
    Of her grand family funerals —
    Some sepulchre, remote, alone,  
    Against whose portal she hath thrown,  
    In childhood, many an idle stone —  
    Some tomb from out whose sounding door  
    She ne’er shall force an echo more,  
    Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!  
    It was the dead who groaned within.
