Doesn't Henry Peter Emerson sound familiar? You guessed it-he is the cousin of the Emerson we all learn about studying the transcendentalists. Henry Peter Emerson was Cuban and produced an amazing array of photographic work from the 1890's. I love his philosophical approach of melding the scientific, technical, and art into a landscape photograph. This especially draws me in because I myself have journeyed down this road with my own body of landscape work on Lake Okeechobee.
One of my favorite Emerson photographs was printed as a photogravure.
