EXCEPTIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS ON deviantART. Ed. APRILSunny greetings from Greece everyone!

For this month's feature I chose someone I admire for his talent, his mediterranean temperament and his emotional generosity, Doug Richards :iconDougNZ:

- Tell us a little about yourself.
- I’m the youngest of 14 children – 7 brothers and 7 sisters
I was born and still live in Auckland, New Zealand, though I spent years travelling and living abroad in the UK, Europe, Australia, Philippines and USA.
Last year I made a huge career change after decades of selling new houses to working as an Employment Broker helping to get the unemployed back into work – less than half the income for me but ten times the satisfaction.
Two kids – a boy and a girl. Two grandkids – a boy and a girl.
- How did your relationship with Photography begin and how has it developed through the years?
- I’m so old that I can remember taking photos of my brother with a Kodak Box Brownie. I

Helen LevittHelen Levitt was an American photographer that grew up in Brooklyn and taught herself photography . She was particularly noted for "street photography" around New York City, and has been called "the most celebrated and least known photographer of her time".
She purchased a Leica camera and began to photograph children and their work with chalk, associating with Walker Evans in 1938. No unusual photos, but plain documentary, poetic photographs made on the streets of the city she has inhabited.
Received two Guggenheim Foundation grants to take color photographs on the streets of New York and much of her work in color from the 1960s was stolen in a 1970 burglary of her East 13th Street apartment (!).

Masters of Photography part VIGarry Winogrand (14 January 1928, New York City – 19 March 1984, Tijuana, Mexico) Winogrand was a street photographer known for his portrayal of American life in the early 1960s.
Winogrand studied painting at City College of New York and painting and photography at Columbia University in New York City in 1948. He also attended a photojournalism class at The New School for Social Research in New York City in 1951.
Many of his photographs depict the social issues of his time and in the role of media in shaping attitudes. He roamed the streets of New York with his 35mm Leica camera rapidly taking photographs using a prefocused wide angle lens. His pictures frequently appeared as if they were driven by the energy of the events he was witnessing. Winogrand's photographs of the Bronx Zoo and the Coney Island Aquarium made up his first book The Animals (1969), a collection of pictures that observes the connections between human

The clever framing of the kid eating an icecream in the arm of the slurping icecream cow makes of an ordinary scene a curious, eye catching and funny one.

Train station by ~cosmin-m
The image suggests many feelings. Melancholy, farewell, solitude (the dog), love (the couple). Beautiful and emotional.

Faceless by ~cedrus
Flawless frame. Three faceless women in the three thirds of the image, all facing away, two gray arms surfacing fro

Happy HolidaysMerry Christmas are the wishes of the Yard Collective Team.

In this Holiday Season just remember that Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind, to cherish peace and goodwill.

And with this spirit let us just add that our hearts go out to our beloved former Administrator :iconNour-K: and all others that find themselves in difficult and imposed situations. Just to be clear, she lives in Syria and we wish her and all her loved ones, as well as all Syrians the best of luck!

NOTE: Going through the Galleries I have no doubt that any Yardie can be awarded in this

Ruth OrkinOrkin grew up in Hollywood where her mother was a silent-film actress and in 1939 she studied photojournalism. At the age of 10 she received her first camera, a 39 cent Univex, and two years later Orkin began to develop her photographs herself, and when she was eighteen she made national headlines when she rode a bicycle from Los Angeles to New York for the 1939 World's Fair. Of course she photographed along the way.
In 1943 she moved to New York and began working as a nightclub photographer

and shot baby pictures by day to buy her first professional camera.
She later became a successful freelance photographer, traveling all over the world and contributing to Life, Look, Ladies' Home Journal and other periodicals.
Orkin is best known for her naturalistic urban portrayals of Europeans and New Yorkers in the '40s, '50s and '60s, and for a series of photos she took from her New York City apartment with a view of Central Park (A World Through My Window, 1978 and More Pictures
