Presenting
The Feinstein Flower Project

Based on the floral photography of Harold Feinstein of Massachusetts.



Harold Feinstein began his career in photography in 1946 at the age of fifteen. By the time he was nineteen, Edward Stieichen had purchased his work for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art and exhibited it frequently during his tenure there. In his early career, Feinstein was best known for his black and white documentary style work, and particularly his extensive Coney Island portfolio, which has been shown often throughout his life in galleries, museums and journals. Renowned photography critic and historian A.D. Colman has said of this work: “Here is New York small-camera photography at it’s best – humanistic, intimate, engaged, almost intrusive.” He went on to call Feinstein “a true photographer’s photographer.”

In early 2000, Feinstein began to master digital technology as an artistic medium, resulting in six color books published by Bulfinch press. The celebrated One Hundred Flowers (2000) is now in it’s third printing. His trend-setting in the arena of digital photography earned him the Smithsonian Institute’s Computerworld Smithsonian Award, in 2000.

Feinstein’s photographs have been exhibited in and are represented in the permanent collections of major museums including the Museum of Modern Art, the International Center of Photography, the George Eastman House, the Museum of Photographic Arts, the Musee d'Art Moderne, the Museum for the City of New York and the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. His portfolios, photo essays, and articles have been published in major periodicals around the world including, LIFE, Aperture, Audubon, Connoisseur, L'Illustriazione, and Popular Photography.

W. Eugene Smith, with whom Feinstein collaborated closely in his early years, said of his work: “He is one of the very few photographers I have known or have been influenced by with the ability to reveal the familiar to me as beautifully new, in a strong and honest way.”

The Icons:

I have adapted a series of icon from the prints of this wonderful photographer and am posting them here as customizable, requestable icons for my friends list. You can have as many of these as you want. Just let me know which ones...the names are noted on the table and what name you would like on them. If you would like something other than your LJ Name that is ok too, just let me know what text to put on them.

The samples presented here use my LJ name as a model. There is also a Spring icon for public use. I ask that if you use these icons you credit Harold Feinstein as the photographer and me as the iconer. I know that is a lot to remember but they are his photographs.
