The Photographer
To be honest, I thought that Howard Greenberg truly portrayed a man who followed his dream passionately and had the will to make it as a successful photojournalist and collector. I especially admire the fact that Mr. Greenberg was never in it for the money. When he mentioned working for the Woodstock Times making $15 a week then slowly working up to $50 a week, it surprised me in that his persistence paid off tremendously and now the art community recognizes him as a prestigious member of their world. Additionally, I found it interesting how his car accident in Europe changed his life forever. That unfortunate incident led him to photography. He quickly immersed himself in its history and grew all the more interested in Mid 20th Century prints. In conclusion, I found Mr. Greenberg’s lecture not only stimulating, but also informative.
