Eugene Atget was one of first documentary photographers. He well known for his pictures portraying the harsh truths of street life in Paris, but most of his work was discovered only after his death.
In order to imitate Atget, I made my photo of Gurbaz black and white, posterized, and slightly filtered

Being a hopeless cause to begin with, I decided to just put the original through a few filters.
