Short History of Photography, A
'While looking through his contact sheets, Harvey Benge noticed that one of his pictures reminded him of a 'Friedlander', another someone else. All photographers do this, and if the photograph in question apes another photographer too closely, it's usually a cause for rejection. But Benge did the opposite.

It was not until the early twentieth century that the first openly homosexual photographers were able to explore the overtly...
