PRO 243 - Ernst Haas
Our next emulation assignment was originally suggested by our own dear Kate - The Tamed Shrew back in 2009.
There are several resources available, the most rich is the website devoted to him is done by his estate.
As I have read through the information on this artist, I conclude that Ernst Haas' style was realistic but poetic. He used colour purposefully as an integral element of his art.
Rather than listing his bio here, I'm going to list his philosophy - note that there are 10 separate pages to his philosophy:

Other's thoughts on this artist are listed here including Ansel Adams, and Henri-Cartier Benson, again 10 pages to this part of the website:

Here is a four page gallery of his photos:

Here is a sample of some of his thoughts as listed in this website:

“A few words about the question of whether photography is art or not: I never understood the question.” – Ernst Haas
“There are two kinds of photographers: those who compose pictures and those who take them. The former work in studios. For the latter, the studio is the world…. For them, the ordinary doesn't exist: every thing in life is a source of nourishment.” – Ernst Haas
“The best pictures differentiate themselves by nuances…a tiny relationship – either a harmony or a disharmony – that creates a picture.” – Ernst Haas
“Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the ‘ah-ha’.” – Ernst Haas
“The most important lens you have is your legs.” – Ernst Haas
“The camera doesn’t make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE.” – Ernst Haas
“The camera only facilitates the taking. The photographer must do the giving in order to transform and transcend ordinary reality. The problem is to transform without deforming. He must gain intensity in form and content by bringing a subjective order into an objective chaos.” – Ernst Haas
“You don’t take pictures; the good ones happen to you.” – Ernst Haas
“Learn by doing or even better unlearn by doing.” – Ernst Haas
“Don’t park… Arrival is the death of inspiration.” – Ernst Haas
“I am not interested in shooting new things – I am interested to see things new.” – Ernst Haas
