    Insane? Can't we settle for eccentric? A friend of mine is just the ticket. He's been a photographer for about fifty years and all his personal work is 35mm, contact printed. I believe there is a wonderful show in his work.

    As an aside, grain don't mean nothing in 35mm contacts. He's a push-film kinda guy. Great stuff.

    Eccentric is well behaved or motivated insane in my book.

    All of us here are eccentric by our usage of LF.

    Some may be nuts, not all.

    I like all the nominations of the Insane to this thread. I looked each up.

    Many I was unfamiliar with.

    Mortenson was unliked, def excentric but not insane.

    This woman qualifies. Read her sad words. Look at the images.

    Maybe Francesca Woodman too.
    I would guess Alvin Langdon Coburn was a little more then eccentric too.

    This all cuts very close to me. Both my wives were mentally ill, which I failed to notice until I married them. I was warned. Fool in love.

    Both artists. Both lovely and loving some of the time. Rage at other times. Both deceased. I miss them both.

    God Bless us all.
