You own a real treasure. David was ahead of his time, doing creative composites to photos in the darkroom. He was amazing. I wish i could tell you more, but your best bet is to contact his wife Dorothy (Dottie) Attie. Dotty still lives in the brownstone they owned in New York City. You will need to search for her contact info because I no longer have it. Dotty is a highly regarded artist in her own right.

Thank you for your interest and good luck!

I recently purchased a David Attie photograph entitled “Self-Portrait of a Young Russian Boy”. I believe it is an original, in addition it also is signed by him. If you could provide any information about the artist or any advice/insight on what to do with the photograph I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for your time.

Best,

Once I got going with it, I had so much fun changing out the slides and getting an instantly new background in my photos.

I’m still forming an opinion, and part of me wants to like it. But when I look at the final images, they look contrived.

I do think there’s potential to be creative. You can shoot your own film and project it. Could be cool.

Thanks for your comment!
