This is a photo I took of Winfield Moses at the lathe at Professional

Camera Repair Service, ( better known as Marty Forscher's ) in New York

City in 1982. It's not so much that I want it rated, it's that I want

people to know who he was. I hope you can tell by the way he stood

before this metal working tool, much as a concert pianist before his

piano, that he was it's master. Winfield Moses was a brilliant

craftsman and created many of the innovations that changed photography

over the years he worked at PCRS and he was one of my mentors. He's

gone now, and I just want people to know that he was among us once. I

miss him. This photo was taken with a Polaroid 110 A or B and I liked

to leave the triangular tab on the photos I took with the type 47 film,

which I wish Polaroid still made today.

I like it, but the lighting could be better.. maybe that was your intention to show the working light this man uses (the small lamp)
