nicolas_douez Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Warning : you just did what should NEVER be done : uploading a picture taken by another photographer you don't mention as the author. In addition the picture comes from Magnum Photos website. What you did here violates their pictures using rules they clearly post on their web pages. Rather including a link to Magnum Photos website and telling us where the picture is than copying a photo without their permission and without mentioning the photographer as the author. As for the camera : seems to be a black Yashica GSN or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolas_douez Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 That picture must have been taken by Abbas in Iran during the first years of Khomeiny's islamic dictature. I'm not too sure but it must be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolas_douez Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Yes it's a picture taken by <a href=http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/FramerT_MAG.aspx?Stat=DocZoom_DocThumb&V=CDocT&o=UY5&Total=41&Pic=2&DT=ALB&Pass=&E=2TYRYD7G0BWS>Abbas of the Magnum agency</a>.

nicolas_douez Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I didn't know you had mailed them - fine ; but you should have just mentioned the photographer's name when you posted the photo. Some years ago I had the bad surprised to see one of MY pictures published on a booklet's frontpage - well, why not ; and on the second page, it was written "Photo by Association of the XX", while of course these people were NOT the authors of the picture, although I knew them and they knew me, because the photo had just been shot by ME and nobody else ! So - just think of what Abbas could feel seeing one of his pictures without his name near it. Okay, such things happen twice per second on the net - but here on the Classic Cameras forum we should behave better than most of the Internet's compulsive photobugs, shouldn't we ? Photography is a work of art - but it's also a kind of work, and thus the photographs must never be dissociated from their original photographers.

jorn ake Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 The camera looks to be a late rangefinder - most probably a Canon, a post QL-17 model - with a pop out flash. I am not sure if it is an autofocus model, but it is not an auto-advance obviously. That pop-out flash arrangement looks really familiar though. I don't think it is a Minolta or a Yashica.
