Almost 100 years old, Lester Hayes was a
pioneer of Abstract Photography. He took
photographs of ordinary things, using a sheet
of mylar plastic shimmering in the breeze, to
produce stunning images, and he did it all
with the brand new Kodak Instamatic. Kodak
awarded his ingenuity with a major one man
exhibition in New York City, but became
disinchanted when Hayes discovered a tiny
flaw in the camera that ultimately
contributed to its demise. Tags :LesterHayesAbstractPhotographycameraNewYorkCity
Lester Young is featured here. If you look
