Über das Werk
In the early 1890s, Alfred Stieglitz roamed downtown New York City streets with his most portable camera and photographed the city’s street life. “I loathed the dirty streets, yet I was fascinated,” he recalled. In 19th-century New York, rag pickers earned a meager living by gathering rags and other trash from garbage cans and refuse heaps and selling them to recyclers.

Derweil im Leben von Alfred Stieglitz
Das ganze Leben1890
His sister Flora dies; he returns to New York
In 1890 his sister Flora died in childbirth, and Stieglitz returned to New York. Considering himself an artist, he refused to sell his photographs, so his father bought him a small photography business, the Photochrome Engraving Company, which rarely made a profit because of his demand for quality and the high wages he paid.
spring 1893
Co-editor of The American Amateur Photographer
In the spring of 1893 Stieglitz became co-editor of The American Amateur Photographer but refused a salary: his Photochrome company was now printing the magazine's photogravures, and he wanted to avoid any appearance of bias.
