THE WORLD IS BEAUTIFUL
Albert Renger-Patzsch
Germany photographer Albert Renger-Patzsch (1897-1966) was born in Würzburg, Germany. In 1928 Renger-Patzsch published 'The World is Beautiful', a collection of one hundred photographs whose rigorous sensitivity to form revealed patterns of beauty and order in the natural and man-made alike. Embodying a new, distinctly modern way of looking at the world, the book established Renger-Patzsch as one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century.

My response
I found this assignment fun and interesting to do, it made me think about things I wouldn't usually think about. I found it relatively easy to begin with but as I took more images and got closer to 100 images I found it harder as I ran out of ideas to photograph.
