Re: Sam Wang in View Camera
Thanks for those links. I was not familiar with his work and it looks fascinating.
Re: Sam Wang in View Camera
Interesting... I'd never heard of a "round image" camera before. So, viewing the website was a good learning experience!
Sandy, thanks for sharing the links!
Cheers
Re: Sam Wang in View Camera
The book is well worth having. Full of interesting ideas.
Re: Sam Wang in View Camera
I've been fortunate to be able to look at hundreds of Sam's images, his book and web page barely scratches the surface.
Re: Sam Wang in View Camera
The last issue of View Camera magazine was great. Anyone who didn't buy it really missed out.
The Sam Wang article was very interesting. What a creative, talented photographer!
Re: Sam Wang in View Camera
Maybe I should have said the article written about Sam Wang was very interesting.
You did a great job Sandy!
Re: Sam Wang in View Camera
Sandy's contribution is great, and it's a great issue overall. I have a personal stake in also pointing out a wonderful and in depth article by Jon Cone about the state of the art in B&W ink. You won't find this kind of knowledge and insight anywhere.

Re: Sam Wang in View Camera
Its a shame its not on your agnostic print website for free, more people would read it and benefit from his insight. I read it in the online edition but had to pay. I doubt Mr Cone benefited much financially from publishing it in View Camera. It will only be available online until January next year when the 2010 issues are taken offline.
Re: Sam Wang in View Camera
David, I appreciate that concern, I know you realize he, and many of the rest of us, have motivations beyond financial as well. Little of this information get's around, and should be much more common.
He did all the work for the article, for View Camera, we'll see how secondary publishing on or off line works out. Not sure how much more exposure it'd get on our little site, on line at VC may be better, eventually.
Bottom line for this thread, to me anyway, is continued support for the magazine, where else would you see Sandy writing about Sam Wang? On actual paper?
