al_kaplan1 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Grant, why don't you come down to Miami and shoot your own pictures. I'm not charging James for "modeling" and I won't charge you either. I'll even let you use the 85mm f/2 Nikkor. Hell, I'll even let you use your choice of my M bodies! I'll let you use the same darkroom, mine, that was used by the former director of the Magnum Photo Agency in New York back when he was a student at nearby North Miami Sr. High. You can use the same tanks, reels and enlarger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james mitchell dc Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Al, you don't want grant using your cameras and lenses. He'll run them through his sonic cleaners and destroy the AKBokeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I'd visit but it looks way too dusty, would probably cause all sorts of allergy problems. Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icuneko Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Very good portrait of Al! I have the discontinued 85/2 Nikkor SLR version on an FM2N. Anyone know if they are similar designs? As for dust and streaks, remember the late Suzuki Roshi's terse advice: "Seek perfection in imperfection." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray . Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 <i>What happened to his work (of portraits of others) you were going to present? </i><p>Uh, no answer huh? Just more hero worship. You can call it whatever you want, lots of puff and little content is bs, especially to the extent you guys push it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris_chan1 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Al: ".....the same darkroom, mine, that was used by the former director of the Magnum Photo Agency in New York........" Being an ex-director of Magnum's NY office doesn't give you membership of a particularly exclusive club - the average tenure is in the region of 12 months. In the photo industry that particular position is now known as being in "the departure lounge", only the very brave or the very foolhardy (preferably both brave and foolhardy) now apply. Maybe you could apply for the job yourself Al, it'll probably be vacant again after next summers AGM.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melisa Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Ray, I think the problem has been finding a person to scan his work. I think it's good that Al has remained "pure". I quess I would be a little worried to pass that responsibility, especially after the "Battle of the Dust". Send them to Grant, Al. What do you think, Grant?
