"For me reading is the foundation of being a photographer." ~ A good read here from Grant Scott. I wholeheartedly agree. Hope the shed is a clean, well-lighted place for him to do his reading!

Looking, Not Reading. Swiping, Not Absorbing.

I always used to keep a book in my pocket. A paperback that I would pull out whenever I was waiting for something to happen or someone or something to arrive. Reading was an essential part of passi…

The brutal posture, the brutal makeup, the hands under the table because his PR clowns probably told he to stop talking with the little hands so much (yet he does anyway).

Embarrassing.

Finally we have this photo, described as "Portrait of the son of The Hague children's photographer Tom Bouman".
I don't know if this is Martien or Tom jr.
But it's touching that he inherited the photography gene.
I fear the death of one of the sons is how the album ended up for sale.

Reports say when he died of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, Einstein had been He working "on a national television address marking Israel’s seventh anniversary as a sovereign nation and Jewish homeland, his views shaped by his own experience being targeted by and escaping Hitler’s Germany."

On April 18, 1955, the day Albert Einstein died at Princeton Hospital (where two of my kids were born),Morse went to the scene. Rather than go to the hospital, Morse went to Einstein's office. He offered the building super a fifth of scotch...and was granted access to the office. Image was iconic.

His tenure at Rolling Stone lasted only two years - 1969 to 1971) but he was part of the 'Fab Four' of Rolling Stone photographers along with Baron Wolman, Jim Marshall and Annie Leibovitz. #Photogaphy (2/2)

He studied photography with Ansel Adams before heading west to San Francisco in '68, where he became a fixture in the city's art community, photographing hippies, protesters, revolutionaries and rock and roll artists. #Photography

He then spent almost every afternoon making proof prints of that day's best negatives. Yet, for all his photographic activity, Callahan, at his own estimation, produced no more than half a dozen final images a year.

Callahan left almost no written records—no diaries, letters, scrapbooks or teaching notes. His technical photographic method was to go out almost every morning, walk through the city he lived in and take numerous pictures. #Photography

I was just thinking about this movie. And the spin-off TV series.

Dates in Movies @datesinmovies.bsky.social · 3d

Oct 22nd 1945 - Russell Nash died during birth. Connor MacLeod took his identity.

📽️📅 Highlander (1986)

2 Screenshots from the movie "Highlander" (1986): First, a woman with long hair wearing a striped jacket is focused on a red book in a library setting, surrounded by shelves of books. Second, a close-up of a New York State birth certificate showing the name Russell Edwin Nash, with details including birthplace Syracuse, NY, and date of birth October 22, 1945, held by someone's hand.

One of my favorite portrait photographers. I flip though his book "On The Road To Seeing" often. Here's a post I did about it. Have you read it? What do you think about it?

I'm a few episodes in. Having lived in Philly for 10 years, I appreciated how they verbally "set" the location in the first 5 minutes of the show - mentioned the KYW, The Blue Route, Independence Hall, "wooderice"😆

Really doesn't matter to me. But if the same book in hardcover or paperback, and the hardcover has one of those little bookmark strings in it...Hardback FTW! 😀
