Lou Bernstein
Lou Bernstein (born Judah Leon Bernstein, February 28, 1911, NYC – August 2, 2005, Boca Raton, FL), photographer and teacher, whose career began during the Great Depression and the Photo League and ended shortly before he died – in another century, when the black and white film and gelatin prints he labored over were rapidly being replaced with digital images.
== Early life ==
Lou Bernstein grew up on the Lower East Side of NYC, the oldest son of Jewish immigrants from Romania. Like many of his contemporaries, Bernstein was forced to leave school – in his case, Seward Park H.S. – to help support his family after his father was injured.〔Bernstein,Irwin, "Introducing Lou Bernstein", http://www.loubernsteinlegacy.com, accessed Sept. 27, 2013〕 After selling candy and men's clothing accessories on the streets of NY for two years, he joined Borrah Minevitch's original Harmonica Rascals〔Della Femina. Profile: Lou Bernstein. "New York Photo District News'', August 1981, p.10〕 (Bernstein had taught himself to play the harmonica when he was seven),〔Dixon, “The World Is His Own Backyard”, Aug. 1955. ''Modern Photography'' pp. 80-85,〕 a group that toured the country, playing one-night stands wherever they could find work.
After two years on the road, he returned to NY, where he met Mildred Marder and married her a year later, in 1931. Needing to find a way of supporting himself and his wife, he began studying iron drafting and received a diploma on April 14, 1933, from The General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen of the City of New York. Because of the Depression, he was never able to find employment in this field. Instead, he began working in the Brooklyn shipyards, which he did for over ten years.〔 In 1937, after the birth of their first child, Millie gave Lou his first camera, “an Argus A2 without a rangefinder"〔 just to take pictures of their new daughter.
