The photographer that I chose to pay homage to is Berenice Abbott. She was born in Springfield, Ohio, and left for New York when she was 20. While she was in New York she pursued many different careers, but ultimately left for France when she was 23. There she became an assistant to Man Ray, who got her interested in the work of Eugene Atget. Abbot spent years trying to get Atget's work recognized by the public. Eventually she started taking her own photos, and moved back to New York. There, she set out to document the city the way she saw it.
