I guess my subsequent post led me to this one. I am going to have to look this up but I could swear this was something we learned in our large format camera studio class. It was when learning how to maneuver the 8×10 and 4×5 cameras. I’m glad those days are gone. Now it […]

What Camera is This …………….. with Brigitte Bardot
For this post, I decided to pair the subjects of cameras and Brigitte Bardot – a love I have for both! If you can identify a camera where one is not identified (or if you think one is misidentified), please let me know by leaving a comment. Likewise, please let me know the photographer’s name […]
Joan Rivers …
It has been a long while since I posted … and this gave me reason to get back to it. With Joan Rivers just having passed away, I am very, very sad – she was a genius, maverick, one-of-a-kind (as everyone keeps saying although I have been saying this for a very long time). Her […]
Nick Brandt and the story of Qumquat
I have posted on Nick Brandt‘s work before, but it would never be enough for me. This time I am posting with particular emphasis on the story of the beautiful and awe-inspiring Matriarch of two generations, Qumquat (born in 1968) who, along with some of her family, were slaughtered by poachers. These two photographs above […]
Photograph of Painting of Camera
Photograph of a painting of a camera by, miniaturist: Lorraine Loots I prefer this site above (versus her own homepage) since it showcases in high-quality some of my favorite individual pieces. Love the texture of the paper, the pencil shaving, the crisp pointed tip of the pencil, the 2d and 3d commingling, the fact that […]
Jill Greenberg
I just read of the remarkable discovery of a new species of monkey and it prompted me to think of Jill Greenberg’s series on monkey portraits. Here is the CNN article on the new species of monkey and here is a glimpse of some of the monkey portraits as was featured in Jill Greenberg’s 2006 […]
Jacques Henri Lartigue
I have always said that Lartigue’s work was that as seen through a child’s eyes and indeed that is what much of it was. He was born into a wealthy family in France and he photographed what was around him starting at age seven — he documented daily life and quite often, society ladies. It […]
David Doubilet
I realize I am LONG overdue in posting! I also realize that I have not done (so far as I can tell) a post on David Doubilet’s work which is more than a shame; it is a disgrace. I love his work! I’m not sure why I haven’t featured his work sooner. There is no […]
Jeanloup Sieff
It has been said that versatility is not always such a great thing in that it implies, “jack of all trades; master of none”. The contradiction to that statement is nowhere more evident than that of Jeanloup Sieff‘s work. He worked for the Magnum Agency and was known as a photographer of fashion, portraits, dance, […]
