You're funny, too. Would be curious to see how you express humor photographically.

Meanwhile I'm a NY minute away from getting the seller of the 90mm I want to reduce the price down to $250.00.

Not to change the subject--but, Darin--yours is one of the most impressive websites I have every seen. You are great writer, deep thinker, and creative soul. Your mid-life "crisis" appears to be a...

I agree with you, Dave, and have been satisfied with my purchases from Keh.com. Then at other times I see something that looks really beautiful-and-minty on The Auction Site, and so far, knock on...

Here are the prices for the lens at keh.com:

90 F6.8 ANGULON COPAL BULB, TIME (35 MOUNT), LARGE FORMAT VIEW LENS
CONDITION EX
$310.00

Large Format - Fixed Focal Length Lenses
90 F6.8...

It looks like mint condition.
Hasn't been used since 1985
and stored in the famous
ubiquitous "cool climate" conditions.
Darin, since you asked I'm PM'g
you the link. Thanks.

Every seller on that famous site says storage conditions were "cool". You never really know for sure. I'm "looking" at one right now that was manufactured circa 1969 (low 11 million). Would you...

My bad. You're quite correct.

Thanks Tony and bob - EXACTLY what I was looking for!

I've read about a lot of variance in the quality of these lenses.
Apparently the last ones produced in the 1970's are best,
due to the improved quality control at the time. Those lenses
are also...

A wealth of magnificent work here.
And, gandolfi--you're prolific.

My pleasure...I like that quote, and as summation of his work, too.

Brian, here's an of 8 1/2 minute AUDIO of Weegee himself and then a link to that text and his work:

This is great and I want to say some things in response. But for now my nose is buried in Christopher Thomas' New York Sleeps, which I snagged today. The book is aptly titled. Not a single soul is...

Have to run out and will read responses later but for now reposting the pics added to the Christopher Thomas thread:

Wow, just saw the interest. I forgot to "subscribe to this thread." This is great.

Is there any interest in starting a "book club" of LF artists?

There is so much beautiful photographic art in the world.
Looking at great photography is more inspirational and
affects us more...

Regardless of the equipment commercial photographers use to make images, it's clear that large format is the tool of the artist because it slows them down. Creation is a slow and evolutionary...

Thanks for posting the names of these artists.

The antithesis of the U.S. McDigitial world.

Great read. But if you tarry through posters' websites to admire their work and smell the roses along the way, grab some popcorn.

Or you can fall in love with the one you buy. Don't force the decision too hard and let it happen to and for you. You never know, a lightly used Chamonix can land into your lap tomorrow.

Wow, Frank. Just looked at some of your photos on flickr. They're wonderful. Note to self to look at more of them tonight. But for now Mr. Thomas' work has inspired me to stroll over to the...

Interesting, Frank. Thanks for that detail. Canada is light years ahead of the U.S. socially. ;)

Some of those images were made late at night and others early in the morning, many with long exposures. I wonder what camera he used? Wish the local libraries had this book; I want to look at it...

No, I think not after viewing the work in the aforementioned link:



Quite stunning.

Is this his website and work?

http://www.christhomas.com/

:D Good summary.

True words, John.

Thanks for the response, Scott.

QUESTION: (I'm a total newbie so don't laugh.) Do you think she used a Neutral Density filter for that image? Do folks use ND filters with big beasts?

SORRY FOR HIJACKING YOUR THREAD, TIM!

This image of Andrea Modica's is among my favorites:

Cave, Time, cave.;)

Andrea Modica's work is haunting. Look how she uses shallow DOF to her advantage. Thanks for mentioning her, John.

Annenberg Space for Photography in LA is a jewel. Saw Ami Vitale there last night at Thursday Iris Nights and was struck that society had not dug it's claws into her. She is untouched.

Thanks again for inviting me, Hugo.
It was nice to meet everyone and
great to see so many LF photographers
and camera gathered in one place.
All that fun should be illegal. Yes,
the light...

Jim, very much looking forward to seeing your work and 11x14 beast today.

Where exactly were you introduced to the Chamonix for a week?
There's nothing I would like more.

Would you kindly provide a link to examples of carbon transfer work.

Brian, let's discuss it Sunday at Hugo's Portrait Party.
