john_sexton Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 I just found this list and would like to say that it is a great asset to the LF community. <p> John Sexton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_turner Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 Hi John, <p> Are you the world famous John Sexton from Carmel? <p> We used to be represented in the same gallery together.. Gallery Sur. Although we never got to meet in person it was an honor to see wy work hanging next to such an accomplised photographer. <p> Keep up the great work that you produce.. its an inspiration to all who work in large format and have a love landscape photography. <p> Nigel Turner. <p> http://www.nigelturnerphotography.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_leblanc Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 Nigel, I hate to be a downer here but this is almost certainly not the big man himself. John has his own website (www.johnsexton.com) and I'd be very very surprised if his email address were js@aol.com <p> Then again, maybe I'm just in denial ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_burns1 Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 I too find this site to be a real asset to LF. Anybody want to buy a Civil War documentary VHS. How about jazz or baseball tapes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedharris Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 Actually it is likely all a hoax since a check with AOL shows that "js is not a known user" <p> some kid playing games at Thanksgiving no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_glover Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 What a bunch of doubting Thomases! You lot would even question the veracity of theophanic postings from A. Adams or E. Weston. Have faith and you too might receive an e-mal off- forum from E. Atget, like I just did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louis_jacques_daguerre Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 Alas, I am too late. My thunder, it has been stolen. <p> One hundred and seventy-five years of photographic evolution and "expose for the shadows and develop for the highligts" is still hot news? <p> I'm going back to bed.

louis_jacques_daguerre Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 Talbot! You and your inferior process, its so.....NEGATIVE! Making multiple copies of an image isn't art, it's mere printing. Why, a pimply faced teenager in a minilab could do it! If I weren't dead, I'd come over there and thump you on the head with a copper plate. <p> All the best - Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_sexton1 Posted November 24, 2001 Share Posted November 24, 2001 Andre Noble sent me an email mentioning the post by <js@aol.com>. It may just be a coincidence that this person's name is John Sexton (it is a fairly common name, believe it or not!). <p> Andre asked me to drop by your Large Format Photography forum, and have a look. It looks as though this group attract some dedicated large format photographers that LOVE photography, and are willing to share useful experiences with one another. <p> I wish my schedule would allow me to participate in this, as well as other, forums, but at the present time life is just a little to crazy to participate fully. <p> I wish you all the very best with your photography. <p> John Sexton (photographer...

chad_jarvis1 Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 A Brit? Hardly. I'm a fourth-generation Marylander. And I ask you...how would it be possible to be so into large format without knowing who John Sexton is? Yates thinks this is hilarious. (Who's Yates?)

Yates thinks this is hilarious. > (Who's Yates?) Very easy if you're not a N American - Yes, lots of Euorpean large Formatters know his name, but I would say plenty more don't. Many "well known" N American photographers are not so well known outside the Continent, and vice versa. <p> Tim A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andre_noble3 Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 Yates, I believe, is a well known Irish leader from the 1800th century. His grave site is found outside the city of Sligo in NW Treland, (It's set in an old monastery against the backdrop of a beautiful bluff there.)

dhananjay_n Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 Aw shucks! And I thought it was one of the Chichester Yates, related to the Earl of Eighten. A regular bounder of a knight.... Cheers, DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
