Some nice ones. Mitch - that is a nice image. Your great success w/ the Ricoh tempts me,

but not sure I can handle its weird finder; how do you shoot w/ it?

Lutz - I like those subtle colors and the composition.

Jung - very nice light in yours.

Matt - what happened to the 1 camera/1 lens? :) And I can read some of the ingredients

on that list.. :) Seriously, always like your B&W work and this is an interesting one.

Michael - Rich, as usual.

Some nice ones.

Mitch - like yours a lot. And totally digging Barry's NYC B&W work.

This is from the summer (sorry); Prospect Park, Brooklyn - "Celebrate Brooklyn" concert:

Well - this is not really what you're looking for, I don't think.... but, it's not sharp either!

Hi Steven -

Some inspiring B&W work - thanks for sharing. Very impressive. You've gotten great

contrast w/ the Neopan, both 400 and 1600, it seems. I ultimately found TX more

contrasty, but never really did scientific comparisons. But you get more deep blacks,

anyway. Really like your perspective and compositions - I admire how you play w/ angles

and blur. My own approach has been more straightforward, so I find your work inspiring.

Regards,

-Mark

Jeff -

Outstanding photo; the composition, the light, the mood, etc., all make this stand out for

me, to my mind, even more than some of your other fight work (though I don't know it all

comprehensively). I also love B&W and this seems to me to be a superb B&W photo (even

if it's digital?)

Ray - more mysterious cars! Digging that mood.

Nice reply, Emily - some profound points!

I just gotta say: Michael S. - always, always, solid, concrete, helpful answers, no matter

the question. Inspiring.

The Photography Guide referenced above is a great resource.

I recommend the Lisette Model show at Aperture and Garry Winogrand at Deborah Bell, but there are many, many more shows around - wish I had time to see them all! Richard Kalvar is at Leica Gallery, but haven't gone yet.

Congrats, Beau.

Always loved your work and happy to see you get the recognition you deserve - well done.

I live in Brooklyn and am in Manhattan often, especially Union Square, so will look for it at

B&N or elsewhere.

Hi Luis -

I've used the latest 50 'cron w/ retractable hood for over a year now and really like it. I

find having a retractable hood really convenient (i know some don't) and have never seen

flare while using it. There may be technically more effective hoods but this one works very

well for me.

Regards,

-Mark

Allen -

Many thanks.
