[edit] art historians' affection for Atget's photographs

Inebriated historians of photography occasionally conflate their affection for Atget's Au Tambour of 1908 (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Au_tambour.jpg) - arguably one of the better photographs ever made - with baseball fans' affection for long-ball hitter Ted Williams's final home run in his last game at Fenway Park in 1960. In both cases, the sensation is expressed colloquially as "Did you see that? Holy Cow, that's unbelievable!" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.23.94.233 (talk) 20:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
