<p>from the hot shot arena, austin</p><div></div>

<p>thanks jim. <br> congratulations on the awards Charlie. even after you've taken all the photos, creating a book is a *lot* of work.</p>

<p>jim's second photo reminded me of one I took in savannah quite a few years ago. </p><div></div>

<p>oh man, how much better can it get than this......?</p>

<p>*love* all the photos in this thread. this was taken at enchanted rock 15 years ago. </p><div></div>

<p>just thinking if #14 was my shot I would be totally happy with it without any cropping...</p>

<p>hopefully they weren't smoking camels, that's what killed al...</p>

<p>thanks for the heads up Anthony. this is my post upon hearing he passed. he had a lot of great shots of bands and politicos from his days at the Miami herald. I still have his infamous t-shirt made by james Mitchell.</p> <p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=509190">skeeter .</a> <a href="/member-status-icons"><img title="Subscriber" src="/v3graphics/member-status-icons/sub10plus.gif" alt="" /></a>, Mar 25, 2010; 02:22 p.m.</p> <p>have been away from photo.net for a couple of years or so, and had been worried about al since he posted news of a hospitalization a while back. had a bad feeling about him so i searched the site and found the sad news. al was a great guy and contributor to the site. like someone said earlier, he was never condescending to a neophyte, and was a lot of fun to correspond with. he had a wealth of knowledge, experience, and advice which he gave generously. i bought a shot of janis joplin from him several years ago and it's on the wall currently. i hope his family or an institution can archive and research his photo archive. he has a lot of gems in there that are yet to be discovered. in my last email with him i reminded him that i wanted to buy a photo of the jefferson airplane if he ever got around to finding the negatives. hope someday to see them. i'm sure a good book is possible from the hundreds of thousands of photos he took. we miss you, al.</p>

<p>jim,<br> just go there when the weather is bad, you'll be all alone...</p>

<p>dang, Charlie......</p>

<p>knut,<br> first of all, that is spot on focusing and the great bokeh from a classic lens. hard to beat.<br> no, I'm not over tired...I was taking an uber in Brooklyn to a performance of my daughter (mary poppins) and took the photo as a passenger...</p>
