André Kertész: Surreal Beauty

So perhaps this isn't the expected post in my blog but I felt I should post it in my challenge to broaden my perspective of inspirational forms of beauty. I'm really drawn to these photographs, perhaps because there is a sense of 'the other', a surreal force creating a sense of human detachment yet also remaining so relevant to 'now'. I also love black and white photography like this, playing with the tones and contrast to create a sense of atmosphere. Oh, and they are of course taken in Paris which is without a doubt my favourite City!
