RIP Bill Cunningham
About 90% of the Style section of today’s New York Times is a tribute to Bill Cunningham a street fashion photographer. Stories about him, personal recollections, etc. Nicely done. Check it out if you have access to this edition of the paper. BTW, this may be considered OT, as he apparently shot with Nikon gear. But an interesting story nonetheless. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: OT: Bill Cunningham in New York
Daniel alerted us to this film way back in 2011, and I've had it in my Netflix queue for about 8 months now, but I finally started watching it and I will add my voice to Daniel's in highly recommending it. It is interesting and entertaining on multiple levels. If you haven't seen it and have NetFlix, I recommend giving it a "look-see". Probably also available in other streaming venues.

I happen to work with someone with that name. Tying this into the Essential Kit thread, I disagree with Cunningham about the desirability of lots of pockets for photo stuff. I used to think it was a good idea until I found myself in crowded markets and having to defend all those pockets from thieves. I don't think you need more than 2 pockets. One is hidden and zipped and contains the valuables. The other is a shirt pocket containing a visible but worthless banknote to distract & identify the bad guys.

Regret - I missed out on tickets to Bill Cunningham New York
I hope this comes out on blu ray eventually. http://tix.sff.org.au/session2.asp?sn=Bill+Cunningham+New+York The blurb is out of date. He no longer lives in Carnegie Hall. In one of his best blogs to date, Bill is nostalgic. That must have been a fun place to live. http://video.nytimes.com/video/2010/04/30/style/1247467749052/on-the-street-goodbye.html?scp=4&sq=%22on+the+street%22&st=m D -- der...@iinet.net.au http://members.iinet.net.au/~derbyc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Bill Cunningham
Was it just me, or did anyone else find it strange that there were no
links to actual samples of his work. I would have liked to take a look.
