Looks to me like being a still photographer is an excellent means of developing the eye needed for being a director later.

Kubrick was always one of my favorites and these are really good shots.

A man of "obsessive and perfectionist nature"... and it shows in those pictures.
Great link.

There's something about capturing the images of large cities from the late 30's to the mid-50's that's always appealed to me. From the cars, planes, and trains to it's peoples' dress and architecture,...one can feel more of a purposefulness back then. Sure,....there was big city corruption, vice, and poverty 60 years ago like there is today. But viewing black and white photos doesn't get much better than that when going back in time.....

Same here, can't get enough of those B&W's. That man had a very interesting life, and you can see his touch in those photos. A great treasure, thanks for the link.

Check out the angles of the compositions, most all looking up or dead even, most all look to be standard 50-mm lens too, no wide-angles or telephoto lens. Nice pix, good link Panther.
