A guy whose work impressed me greatly some years ago; just had another look and made me wish I still had a 500C/M!

Might appeal to some of you blokes too.

Never had much interest or aspiration regarding Pirelli - apart from a set of four on my little van.

Happy to play in my own backyard:





Hey, Walter!

Four complete Pirellis? Hate to imagine you really, really did mean tyres... ;-)

Only ever owned a single one: the '69 one which was by Harri Peccinotti in Big Sur. It wasn't a favourite of mine, but at the time, gift horses and mouths etc... didn't export it along with myself.

In the end, I had a few Pentax ones that I liked a lot during the period when Feurer and Haskins were alternating. I still have an enormous Feurer one that I prize beyond anything of my own, as much as I'm pleased with a couple of them.

Have you see this bloke's b/w stuff before?

Yep, just round black snake squashers on the wheels of my conveyance, Rob.  I don't think I even have one of the many Pirelli Calendar books.  For the most part, I am not a fan but there have been a couple that were impressive.  Lategan springs to mind and possibly Moon.

Had a look at the provided link and have to say that M. Coigny leaves me overwhelmingly underwhelmed.  A couple of nice ideas but they failed to speak to me and I see them as missed opportunities.  (Although, I guess one is not supposed to offer critical comment here:  hand me a yellow card.)

Cheers,

Sorry about the ‘underwhelming’ experience! Truth to tell, that’s what constitutes most of life, I’m afraid.

Regarding the Lategan one – didn’t like it at all; employed the same logo-centric device that killed most of the Martyn Walsh-directed ones for me. Guess Derek Forsyth was as good as directors get! There is ever a problem with the introduction of logos on calendars: in one beer calendar that I did, my last one, the client forced a situation where we shot one pic in a bar in Ireland of a ‘barmaid’ standing behind the bar with a tray of booze, each glass with its logo and around twenty further identical logos on bits’n’pieces behind her. It was one of the most humiliating images I ever found myself forced to produce. That’s selling? No, that’s pathetic! Actually, I believe it was done on purpose to harm me.

The other thing about logos is that you are torn between promoting their use on otherwise nice shots of pretty girls with the thought in mind that to do without would be to introduce the temptation of the client using stock. Hellish, isn’t it?

Yeah, I agree about Moon: probably still is my favourite of them all. There’s just something about some woman photographers – that other girl, Camilla Akrans, whom I think I first learned about through a reference to a magazine that you made long, long ago in ‘another place’ also has something special.

After the Pirellis were handed over to Walsh, Forsyth took on Mintex (brake and clutch lining manufacturers) and did nice work there, continuing along much as Pirelli should have during his absence… it was nice to see him get Pirelli back!

Regarding critical comment: no, no card issued! Comment is what it’s all about, just that pics get posted in ‘Without Prejudice‘ simply because they mean something to the shooter and, in most cases, the shooter doesn’t need anybody’s advice on how to create images. Hell, without comment there’s no thread!

Take care –

Rob C

Fruit of this afternoon's stroll around the marina.

Especially for Walter.

Nod, wink, etc.

Less abstract... attempting to print this one up, but before I even start, the darn machine tells me that I've got a faulty light grey.  I hope this refers to the ink. Maybe I won't even get a test through today.

Rob C

Edit: no; the damned thing won't even talk to the computer, so new ink ordered today.

Took my fancy this morning whilst I was having my ersatz, decaffed coffee; these cardios don't have much of a sense of humour. Or maybe they do?

Hmmm...

Rajan, every now and again someone posts a photo here which makes me chuckle gently to myself when I see it. "Toast" is one of them (particularly since, as it appeared on my monitor, I had a toasted crumpet in my left hand). Thank you for brightening my morning!

Me too. "Toast" is a charming and very satisfying image.
