Arthur Tress - Early Life

Early Life

First photograph at age 12. Arthur Tress' first subjects were circus freaks and dilapidated buildings around Coney Island where he grew up. The youngest of three children in a divorced family, Arthur spent time in his early life with both of his parents: his father who re-married and lived in an upper class neighbourhood, and his mother, who remained single after the divorce and whose life was not nearly so luxurious. In high school, he also studied the art of painting. Arthur Tress mainly took landscaped photos in his childhood.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    In the course of twenty crowded years one parts with many illusions. I did not wish to lose the early ones. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    Poor devil, poor devil, he’s best gone out of a life where he rides his rocking-horse to find a winner.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
