Winter - Fifth Avenue
by Alfred Stieglitz 

Blue and Green Music
by Georgia O'Keeffe

I enjoyed some of his photos. One of his many photos is this one, simply titled, "Winter - Fifth Avenue". It was a picture taken in where I believe to be New York City. This was his most famous print, and it was sold for around $75 ( That's around $800 in modern times! ). I enjoy this photo because it reminds me of, incredibly enough, the winter. It just has this feel as though it's been pulled out of Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol. It looks really nice.

However, there was another notable thing he did during his lifetime. He married a famous painter named Georgia O'Keeffe. She had gain the attention of art galleries before women were allowed to go to universities. She mainly was known for painting magnified blossoms and New York buildings.
