Today, I got Robert Balcomb's, 'Me and Mortensen:Photography with the Master'.
Looks good, now I need to find time to read it.
I never knew retirement was so busy...

Let us know what you think, Randy. I don't have that one.

Well, I am reading "Me and Mortenson" and now starting Chapter V, which is a transition point in the book. Very enjoyable and nicely printed on great paper. Worth owning.
I have already found the first 1/3 of the book to be valuable. Good advice, abounds with examples. History is taught and I find I agree with Mortenson, that playing a vinyl record and recording it is the last time a record is any good. He gave away his records after recording, saying they were no good after. For decades I have bought NOS classical records and enjoyed the first play of them infinity more than any subsequent play.
His advice on photography is equally resonant to my ears.
I will not sleep until I close this book.
