The Karsh Generation

[r.e.]

To mark the centenary of Karsh's birth, the main Ottawa newspaper has put together a portfolio of his photographs of local people. The focus is on work that Karsh did in the 1930s, before he became well-known. Perhaps worth a look: http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/karsh/index.html

Well now, Karsh did a cat picture. I feel validated now! I can shoot my cats with abandon.

As a resident of Ottawa (and former resident of Newfoundland, but only visited New York), I did find this quite fascinating. Thanks, r.e.!

WOW! Thanks.
(PS, that's the damndest cat picture I've ever seen!)

Thanks for the link, r.e.

I noted that he had a Commercial Ektar mounted on the camera shown on the home page of the feature.

[Steven Barall]

Thank you for the link. Cheers.

Very neat link. It's interesting to see the older photographs. One can kind of piece together his development as a photographer.

I remember seeing some online thing about his famous portraits....the "Grumpy Churchill" story was very funny and an amazing moment...
thanks, r.e.!
