Did You Know?

Ralph Eugene Meatyard spent many weekends with family and friends exploring and photographing in abandoned, dilapidated old mansions.

Description

A licensed optician, Ralph Eugene Meatyard took up photography in 1954. A mystical sensibility permeates nearly all his work, but is especially pronounced in his pictures of blurred people, their forms distorted by the use of a slow shutter speed. In this example, they wander through an empty, decrepit house like ghosts or figures in a dream.
