Hi,

Shot this a couple of days ago for a client of mine.

Cheers

Simon

Just wondering if that sickish, greenish cast serves any esthetic or editorial purpose?

Hi Slobodan,

The sickish, greenish cast is what I like.

Emil I am pleased that you like it.

Rob, the first one is to fulfill your failed hopes for the Sigma 60mm DN test images, although this is using Mamiya ZD:)
I still cannot trigger strobes with Nex-5R and so far no subjects on the streets of New York willing to help me under the available light:(

This one is from the unpublished yet series, 2010.

Now that's singng from the right sheet!

I vaguely remember things like that - or perhaps I just imagined them all along. Oh - a lens test - sorry - I quite overlooked the seriousness of the occasion! Never mind - the subject is always the thing of interest, sometimes more so than at others...

Thanks, Ian - reminds me of something I read last week in a book about Bob Carlos Clarke, where another photographer, John Stoddard, says: "Our friend Patrick Lichfield embraced digital photography, spent a lot of money on it, but later regretted it. He said he lost everything because of it. I'm sitting there with Barry Lategan and Patrick said, 'I regret it with all my heart. All of my photography has gone.' he said, 'I have no travel, no one wants to take me away.' But he opened it up for everyone else."

The book's Exposure, by Simon Garfield. A riveting read, as they say.

My plight's similar but different: I have location but nobody wants to send me models and work.

Slobodan, I do my best to post outwith lunchtimes: you know I don't want to upset the troops.

Michele - I thought Pevero because of the sea and what I thought I remembered as the northern islands - just south of Corsica. Lovely part of the world, but I could never forget about the Getty boy, the ear, the bandits and the pig farms for disappearing the evidence. Perhaps Vincent Van Gogh always wanted to visit. But who in their right mind would have kidnapped him?

As a change from Nikons, here's one on either my Hasselblad 500 C or the CM, with 4/150mm optic. Wish I'd had a 180mm but they didn't make them when I was building up the outfit; had a 180mm on the Mamiya TLR that I used to complement the Rollei TLR, and though a lousy mechanical trick to frame with that Mamiya and a silly red line that moved, it gave great results when you did it correctly. Film was Ektachrome 64.

I shot the tranny on my lightbox using the D700 and a 2.8/105 Micro Nikkor. So maybe it really still is a Nikon image after all.

Client was Glayva Liqueur, and we did their calendar in the Canary Islands one freezing March. But it was even more freezing in Scotland, so it was good to escape!

More black and white Kodachrome 64.

An impossible shot today. The area behind the trees used to be a cornfield, and when the wind blew, it was like watching a golden sea (Golden Era, naturally), and now, after the interference of the EEC, which bribed the farmer to abandon the growing and to kill off all his animals (no doubt to the high glee of the French and German farmers), the place has been left to nature and a new pine tree forest is talking hold... we used to be able to enjoy a view of the mountains behind Pollensa, about 8 klicks away behind the model - now, you can see only pines, right under your nose, and their yellow pollen covers everything with a sticky mess. Soon, I'll have to keep the terrace lights on in daytime.

The magazine is nice, but the flash presentation is tedious on my computer and I can't find where to download a pdf. Still: great pictures and great presentation.

As a side note: I don't mean to lower your merits, but I noticed that the magazine is free. I know that photographers complain all over the world that it is more and more difficult to get paid for pictures and now it seems that editors and magazine designers are also supposed to work for free. I suppose one can see that as a sign of times.
