This is a portrait of the Doyenne of Photography Berenice Abbott. I was her last photographic assistant back in 1980. The other day while waiting for the mail to come delivering a new book on Berenice Abbott's life work by Julia Van Haften, I saw this wonderful face in the Birch tree that instantly reminded me of Berenice Abbott, about the time when she worked for Man Ray in Paris. From what I remember she originally had some Birch trees on her property in Monson Maine when I was working for her. I also think the wooden floor in her log cabin home was made of Birch. At one point I was going to assist her to photograph some heritage pines up in Jackman Maine so she was quite keen on Trees. So when i saw this and it reminded me of her in Paris during the 1920ties around the time she photographed Eugene Atget. I do have an official portrait of her but this one shows Berenice stretching her limbs during the spring thaw. This is because the new Book on her life and times shows that she was definitely one of the great Photographers of her time. So with that said, I named it the Berenice Abbott Birch. Which you can see at the public beach boardwalk in Sainte Adele, Quebec along side Lac Rond.
