Being influenced by André Kertész

"Each time Andre Kertesz's shutter clicks, I feel his heart beating."

These beautifully simple black and white compositions of Andre Kertesz make my photographer heart happy.

The image below is mine and you are probably thinking I must be playing the which photo doesn't belong game. Never the less, I took this photo because I saw what I admired in Kertesz's images: simplicity, shadows and contrast.  Thanks for reading if you made it this far and I hope you enjoyed the photos as well.

Special thanks to Tim Cox for the insightful critique of my image.
