Subway at Pennsylvania Station

Louis Stettner (signed by artist), 1958

Photography has often been used to portray important people and events. In addition, many photographs have been taken of (seemingly) everyday subjects and situations. Photographs with a poetic, sometimes enigmatic character, of which the work of Louis Stettner is a fine example. Stettner always spent a great deal of time observing people, keeping his camera close at hand.
