i want my photo.net histor Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I mostly lurk on this forum but whenever I saw Sal DiMarco's name I knew the message would be in best faith and from a true gentleman. I have never any of the people on this forum and had never met Sal DiMarco, but I truly felt sad reading this. Wishing him and his family all the best in difficult times. Rav.

lee_shively Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Sad news. Sal was always the gentleman in his posts to this forum as well as the Leica Customer Forum. His insight and positive attitude will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel_kremens2 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I had the opportunity to met Sal at several Leica Days here in Bryn Mawr PA. He was always so upbeat and such a gentlemen. He was very helpful at giving me points on how to use my Leica better. At the end of one session, he gave me his business card so that we could stay in touch. He was genuinely generous with his knowledge and we've all lost a great person and Leicaphile. May his memory be a blessing.

bob haight Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I ate dinner next to Sal at the LHSA annual meeting in Boston at the Saturday night meal. A great guy. I will miss his posts here. My best to his family for their loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
working camera Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 like so many that leave a mark on the net, I only ever knew his name Sal DiMarco , jun 11, 2004; 07:52 a.m. First of all the Capitol Dome echoes sound. Secondly, there were ONLY one or two photographers on the floor and it looked like they were kept about 30 feet away. The majority of the photogs were on risers working with a minimum of a 300mm f/2.8 to a 600mm f/4 lenses. Any one limiting themselves to a Leica rangefinder with a 135mm is out of luck. In the meeting rooms on the Hill, photographers can only use their motors during the swearing-in of the witness, after that it's single punching. One must use an SLR for this assignment. Happy Snaps, Sal His last post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah_gray Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 <p>Just wanted to share a memory of Sal. I met him in 2002 when I was doing PR for a photographic paper company. He printed one of his photos of Philadelphia and gave it to me as a gift. I had no personal connection to Philadelphia so did not initially hang it in my house. My family has a newly established connection to Philadelphia (<a href="http://articles.philly.com/2015-03-30/news/60606995_1_cord-blood-liver-tissue-banks">here's an article about it</a>) so I dusted off Sal's photo and hung it in our house. I see Sal's autograph every day on my way to the kitchen. This morning I thought, I'm going to track down Sal and tell him I look at that photo every day. So sorry to hear this news. My condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
