The Fork by Andre Kertesz (1928)
This image is abstract perfection by the poetic and thoughtful Andre Kertesz, who I consider to be among the list of most under appreciated masters of photography. This image is the absolute text book study in composition, lighting, tonality, and minimalism. No doubt about this being in my all time top ten.

It's one of my favourite still lifes, for sure. I can't imagine a photo of a simple fork being any more perfect.
I have to agree. Kertesz' sentimental snapshots of Paris, as well as his Surrealist-leaning imagery are evocative of the man and his personal vision.
I just posted a short bit on Minor White and his approach to abstraction on my blog, which I invite you to read. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject.
Nice work Kevin. I look forward to reading your blog.
