charles barcellona www.bl Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 You could only appreciate that lenshood from the front angle... I suppose once, long ago, it was round. Al's da man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_macdonald Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 If he had a scruffy beard he would look like Al Mulock (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Once Upon a Time in The West). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m_. Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 That leica looks like mine - knocking around for some time, uh? Way to go, Al. Leica is for use, not for collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_kaplan1 Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I love it! You've really caught the essence of the real Al Kaplan! As for the button rewind M2, I first saw it with a guy (I'm bad remembering names, so I can't say who) who'd just got back to Miami from covering the Mexico City Olympics in 1968. He sold it to the first chick the Miami News ever hired as a photographer. She dropped it, delaminating the prism at the 1972 Democratic National Convention in Miami Beach and I bought it from her cheap! It sat on my Visoflex II-S for about 10 years, then I sent it for a badly needed CLA and got the prism replaced A few years ago I had Manfred at Dan's Camera Clinic here in Miami put M4 style flash sockets, and last year I put on new Cameraleather to replace what was left of the vulcanite. Maybe 25 years ago I put on the rewind crank which I picked up used, and it still had some chrome on it. I have an almost new hood waiting for this one to finish self-destructing, but I was on assignment one day and found this one laying on the ground already a bit misshapen. Thanks, Jonathan. You made my day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno_menilli Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Jonathan What a fantastic photo,wish I had the means to post photos - I have one of a Belgium fisherman taken at Ostende years ago that looks like a very close relative of Al,s. Al, nice to see a face to a name, you're a real human - not a plastic person - great. Regards Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

________1 Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Can I make a small suggestion? I�m assuming most people have a 17� monitor running at 1024 by 768. I think that�s pretty �normal�. If one limits the height of their posts to 550 pixels, then one can see the entire image without scrolling up and down. Don�t mean to sound pissy about this, but scrolling up and down to see an image, well, sucks.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__jon__ Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Damn! When I saw that picture, the song 'American Badass' started playing in my head. Rollin' smokes, Delta blues, and that Leica... Al as icon... I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
