Alex_Es Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Albert has asked for a scan of his photos from his article "Leica and the Arts," "Viewfinder" magazine, Vol. 37, No. 3, Third Quarter 2004. Dr. Knapp has written in a previous thread that he owns the copyright of the photos. Thank you for checking on that, Albert. Here goes the first. This is from the back cover.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_buckner Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I don't see the big deal. He was able to buy expensive seats, but beyond that, these are no more than okay shots taken with an AE camera. In the dance shots, the composition comes from the choreographer, not the photographer. In the other shots, we have record shots we've seen a thousand times. In short, YAWN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_woodford1 Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Hey Red, take it easy! The man may be a doctor, but he's just an amateur photographer sharing his work. Nobody made you look at all these shots. Don't be a hater just b/c the man has nice seats. Finally, there are very few unique images in the world. If you have some photos that have never been done before, please share. Otherwise, just take deep breath and go to the next thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob soltis Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Very nice images, Albert. Thanks for scanning and posting these, Alex. Red, most of us who lurk about this forum are very proud that one of its leading contributors had his photos - and an excellent article on the story behind them - published in the Viewfinder. regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_buckner Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 If his magazine article is good, that's an achievement. I'm just saying that these pictures are the result of purchases, not technique or originality. I suppose I've known too many guys with MDs who buy great equipment, lab services, and access; and preen themselves as great photographers when they are actually untalented. They are so accustomed to people kowtowing to their profession that they expect applause for anything they take up. Maybe it's just a New York thing. Maybe this guy isn't like that. If he's not like that, I'm wrong in this. But I find it suspicious that he'd present such weak shots for publication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhooru Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Red, they're not all earthshattering photos. But you're excessive vitrol says more about you than the photographs. BTW, where's your uploaded photos? I didn't see any under your "name". Funny that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I didn't see any vitriol, nor do I understand why one must have uploaded photos to comment. I have shows and don't tell people they have to keep their mouths shut unless they bring photos with them. And why aren't you asking the people who are raving where their photos are? Seems hypocritical not to, so maybe you should go through all the responses, find the ones that don't have posted photos, and ask them. FWIW, these seem to be fairly straightforward shots of theater, something that can be done if one is in the proper location.

Uhooru Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 "I didn't see any vitriol. . ." Than take off your rose colored glasses:) I get a little suspicious when someone comes on line with an identity created 2 days ago, seems to go the extra mile to basically say they think the photographs suck, derides the guy for having money to buy the equipment takes of on the medical profession and yet isn't a poster, to me it smacks of not a lurker but a troller or a dentist..
