Great Black and White Photographer Part 2

Of the many black  and white photographers, Karl Blossfeldt stuck out as my favorite. He was born on June 13, 1865 in Berlin, Germany and died on December 9, 1932. He was completely self-taught with the camera. He made a camera that was used to magnify objects up to thirty times. He used this camera to photograph up close shots of flowers and such. Although, photography wasn't his main profession. He was an art teacher at the United States School for Fine and Applied Arts. He taught sculpting and used his photographs to help with the artists process. Two of my favorite photos are listed below.
