" Overexposed areas in the photo can be burned in to provide some detail. Underexposed areas? If it ain't on the negative it ain't there!"
This comment by Al on 24th Dec 2005 was probably the most valuable advise I got for shooting, developing and printing black and white film till this day.

Thanks for the link .
A great loss in my opinion
Has it really been two years ...good grief.
I hope that his family are looking after his work with a view to making it more available.

Remembering Al today - four years on. I still regularly re-read chunks of his Blog 'The Price of Silver'.

nobody special
How would someone who photographed with only one camera and one lens neither being a Leica, used an el cheapo simple nylon strap, did not even own a camera bag, and bought film at the drug store where he had it processed and scanned fare in the modern day RFF environment?

We are richer for his (too brief) presence in our lives.
