john_r._fulton_jr. Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 roby--I've spent much time using typewriters. Frankly, I don't miss 'em much. BTW, what were you doing at Robert Frank's studio?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35mmdelux Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 you started with a no, why not try for a yes?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertodad Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 i leave a block away from his house and saw his door open, i just wanted to say hi... I didn't take his portrait as he was in the middle of work, the moment wasn't good enough to ask him if i could pop a pictures. Next time...

m.lochmans Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi Mr. Daddona, I wonder....Which other situation could justifie the use of a Leica m. On the other hand, showing respect is good thing , getting rare in this hectic world. You made a good choice. Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christopher_a._junker1 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 A second to Martin's comment. Hope you get to know him well enough that he feels comfortable and asks you take his picture without you asking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vics Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 The only picture I regret having taken was one of a lady wearing a lace coif in Northern France. A asked if I could take a picture, and she said no. I shot anyway. That was thirty years ago, and I still think about it. You did the right thing. VS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertodad Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 thanks guys, he was a bit grumpi at first but then he was ok and we talk for a bit, it's the 2nd time i see him. I have been taking self portrait over the years with Avedon, W.Klein, B.Davidson, etc... and with patience i will maybe get a portrait of him and me, who knows... r.
