Allen Herbert Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Leiter's work was done, considerably, earlier in the '50s and I think his praises should be sung too. End of rant. Why? what has the time factor got to do with anything.Are folks from a earlier time lesser beings....perhaps they have smaller brains.....is it a evolution thing or something? His work seems pretty mundane to me.....is his he famous, should i worship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing that he could buy and sell most folks on this forum...... Perhaps he's got a IQ of common sense sadly lacking in this forum,don't you think.

If you thought that I was inferring that people from an earlier age were lesser beings I wouldn't bother worshipping anything. I think you just need a few in lessons in basic English comprehension.

andrewlamb Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 Um, er, I've just had two beltingly strong gin & tonics so this won't be easy. How 'bout Evelyn Hofer, Thurston Hopkins, Robert Doisneau, Roger Maynes, Lartigue, Jakob Tuggener and, of course, Saul Leiter's 'Early Color'?

andrewlamb Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hey! I've just realised that you brought the word 'worship', not me. Worship is far too strong a term, I'm sure we're agreed on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest,Andrew, i'm a bit of a ignoramus, not like yourself. I'll have a look at all of them and tell you what i think. To be honest, i thought you were going to invite to a sing song, you being into worship and all that. I've got a rather nice Tenor voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlamb Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 Allen, we're not going down that route. Life's far too short for such cheap point scoring. As I said before, you're the one who brought up the term 'worship', no one else. The photgraphers I mentioned are snappers I happen to think are pretty interesting. Full stop. You may derive some pleasure from looking at their work, you may not. That's all there is. Now, I could tell you the secret of the world's best gin & tonic......

andrewlamb Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 Trevor, You've owned the book for a couple of weeks, at least, now. Still like it? For 23 odd quid, on Amazon, I think it's great. I've got some friends who are trying to work out whether they can afford one of Leiter's prints from his exhibition in NY. I fear it's going to be silly money.

Allen Herbert Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 You may derive some pleasure from looking at their work That well be the case,Andrew. Thanks for the names. I was just thinking,Trevor,and myself get together once a month for a bit of sing along. Sometimes Another(Robert Appleberry)Bob joins in when he is in the country. Hey, unless you have heard Roberts rendering of 'Those In Peril Of The Sea ' you have not lived... Give us a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry_rory Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I still like it. I am also thinking of buying "Black country" by Richard Billingham. But I may be buying it for the wrong reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlamb Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 Allen, it is with a heavy heart that I must confess that I have an awful singing voice. I wished it wasn't the case but there you go. Nevertheless, I'd be happy to join in ( my voice can be VERY loud) with one of your singalongs. However, I haven't put a roll of film through my M3 in months. Am I still invited? I could sing "There is a green hill, far far away (in Primrose Hill)". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlamb Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 "But I may be buying it for the wrong reasons" ??? You've got 'Ray's a laugh' and you like it. You like his video work. What are the wrong reasons? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
