EDIT (for the mods): I first posted this in OT thread but it wasn't showing on the home page (I know it may be not a worthwhile subject but ...) so I moved it in Rf gen disc.

Celebrities...is there anything they can't do?

I know someone who has done lab work for him who says he likes to shoot B&W and also 4x5".

I'd be curious to know if he's good in photography just half he's as a rocker!
I just saw one photo he took (published on a photo book about his carrer) and it was a b/w portrait of a friend. Not bad at all, for my taste, but not impressing though.

 

[sepiareverb]

Perhaps he is already among us?

Perhaps it is simply a prop?

I'd say it's an M6 or M7. He was already shooting Leicas from before the M8...

Try these too...

My favorite there is Victoria Beckham with her M8. I can almost hear here going back to the store and complaining that all her photos are black.

 

[HuubL]

She might easily have an M8, but that's a Digilux 🙂 and the fact that she hasn't noticed the lens cap is on indicates she doesn't chimp a lot!! Praise Victoria, Praise!

I hope he's a better photographer than Bryan Adams! His songs are better anyway...

ça va sans dire!

But the Digilux works such that the EVF it implements uses the TTL image the sensor sees--if the sensor sees no light, the finder sees no light.

And, if I remember correctly, Clapton also had a difficult time removing the lens cap from his M8/90mm.

Nico, if you like Rock & photography you might want to check out

http://www.visionsofrock.com

American Photo (Aug 07, I believe) featured photos of Bryan Adams, Melissa Auf Der Maur, Jakob Dylan, Perrry Farrell, Mick Fleetwood, Lenny Kravitz, John Mayer, Graham Nash, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Michael Stipe, and Andy Summers.

Summers in particular is great (and uses Leicas, BTW). Check this out:

Cheers,

Roland.

 

[photogdave]

I met Andy Summers in a camera store while he was buying film. Nice guy.

 

[nico]

Thanks Roland, I both like rock and photography. I'll take a look...

Edit: Graham Nash has some good photos in his gallery there ...

Nash is definitely the best of the bunch. I think he and Summers are the best "celebrity" photographers I've seen.
