Calendars out, all - Ken Burns' "The National Parks"

[Bill_1856]

Nicely done, QT. Your smile is even nicer than your beautiful images.

I, and my 5x7, make a brief appearance on episode 4 (September 30th at 8.00pm Eastern Time). There are only three other photographers prominently mentioned, William Henry Jackson, George Masa and Ansel Adams. I'll probably make another announcement in Sept so that you don't miss it.

It was exciting to see you in the episode tonight, this is the best film Ken has done to date. Your parks book with all of those stamps, wow what an achievement!

I think QT should get an hour long PBS show on his own.

QT,

Congratulations on the recognition you received from a fine film maker.
It looked as though you didn't turn the dark slide around after exposing the film.

[David Schaller]

Congratulations QT! I had forgotten about this until I saw last night's episode. Very exciting!

I confess to having mostly slept through Monday and Tuesday's episodes, but fortunately saw last night's on the first showing when I could stay awake. Interesting that the two photographers they mentioned this evening were both Asian, though otherwise about as different as could be in time, space, and circumstance. It highlights both how American the national parks are, and how far their appeal extends beyond the merely American. It also highlighted how the natural scene can get into your blood.

Tuan was presented as quiet and thoughtful, but when they showed a few of his pictures, the drama and power came out. My wife's response was "Wow!". I think Masahara Izuka (aka George Masa) displayed a similar demeanor--humility on the outside, power on the inside.

Congratulations Tuan being highlighted in last night's episode. You work is superb. I hope you have been in talks with the NPS trying to get assistance in publishing a book of the park images. A partnership with the NPS is a no brainer and benefits both parties. If Band of America is a proud sponsor of the series, contact them as well. Strike while the iron is hot. I'm standing in the wings waiting to buy it.

You da man QT! Thanks for representing LF photography so well!

[Bill Stice]

QT, saw the episode last night. Congratulations and well deserved.

Could someone tell me which segment QT is in? I see that I can view different segments on line until Octobver 9. I don't have a television, and I have zero interest in Ken Burns' Culture Industry version of history. But QT is another matter. This forum is indeed a good deed that exists thanks to QT and the others who keep our discussions civil and more or less on track.
