Atget Rephotographic Project

OK, so I'm cleaning out my bookmarks file ... so?

I just went back and looked at a photography project by students from the University of South Florida's Paris summer study abroad program, the Atget Rephotography Project. The goal was to take present-day pictures of sites, trying as much as possible "to replicate the exact view and framing of his original scene."

There's an exhibit of some of Atget's prints -- granted, they are mostly lesser-known images-- from the MoMa's collection in the Galerie Karsten Greve right now.
