Re: Karsh portraits

2004-01-31 Thread Barry I. Thorp

Hi;
   Met his brother in Ottawa when I was working there about three years 
ago.  Again a very kind and gracious gentleman.  And talented as well.  
He autographed a couple of his books for me.  It was one of the 
highlights of the eight months I spent there.

Happened to find a free 190 page book of Karsh photography. ("Karsh" by University of 
Toronto Press 1983.)
Interesting mirror of the times as well as many influential portraits of statesmen, 
artists and the like. (Some of them very good, some of them slightly over- or 
melo-dramatic.) I'll see if I can make use of some of his lighting techniques for some 
b&w portraits.
There is a number of very good non-portrait shots as well.
Among others there is a photograph of a farmer in Regina, Canada, Must be close to you 
then, William (Robb), in case you're reading.
Anyone who cares much for Karsh' shooting nowadays?

First *ist D project

Here's a composite of a sequence I shot today for stock. It's my first 
*ist D work. Some of this wold have been a lot tougher with film.

Re: Pentax lowers *ist D price

2004-01-31 Thread Stan Halpin

Or, even worse for those of us who already have the *ist-D, 
we might have to wait months to get the 16-45 lens while all 
available ones go into "kit" sales.

Interesting that Pentax U.S.A. is offering a discount on a lens (the DA 
16-45) that U.S. dealers seem to be having trouble getting. So if people 
want this kit (*ist D + DA 16-45) and the lens isn't available, this 
might actually slow sales of the *ist D.

This one was print alone.  Not mounted or matted.

No, the bar doesn't get a cut.  AFAIK, that's not the norm around here (not 
that I have much experience with these things).  I've always figured the bar 
or cafe or restaurant or whatever is getting free stuff to put up on the 
walls.  And, the guy last night had a pretty good night at the bar.  Like I 
said, at the height of the evening there were likely 40 people there, and 
most stayed for at least several drinks.  Not counting friends and 
acquaintances of mine there for the opening, there might have been 6 to 10 
strangers there who had nothing to do with our "group".

cheers,
frank

Way to go Frank! Was it mounted & matted or only a print? Does the bar get 
a
cut?
If you were printing digitally at home you could have done an archival 8X10
print for about a buck or two  - US. Not counting several hundred in 
initial
outlay for the printer.
