A little more pictorialism before bed.

For anyone interested you an read about the Pictorialists and the “Straight Photograpgy” schools at the link. Long story short, it was gigantic photo-nerd, slapfight in the early 20th century that pitted one group of legendary photographers (Stieglitz, Man Ray) against another (Paul Strand, Ansel Adams). The thinking and philosophies behind each of schools of thought is still much in evidence today, and is especially relevant given what you can do with an image in Photoshop.
