Great Black And White Photos 2

Black and White Photos 2 AKA Throw Back Monday 

Alvin Langdon Coburn was American-born Britain birthed in June 11, 1882 in Boston, Massachusetts. And born as he was, he could grow up to be the first non objected photographer. 

           There is no details in Coburn's education, which I assume was like anyone else's. 

         Coburn was never serious about photographic occupations until he met a fellow photographer, who in the same year, exhibited at the New School of American Pictorial Photography and the Salon of the Linked Ring. He traveled with sculptors, writers and even Augustus Rodin, the creator behind famous Thinking Man. Everything that Coburn had made while in London was prized in Men of Mark and More Men of Mark.
           Coburn was so immersed in mysticism until he died in November 23rd, 1966 in Denbighshire, Wales. 

Here are some examples of Coburn's interesting photos. 

 "Vortograph"

"The Octopus"
