can't sleep

Joe, two shots of 37th Ave and 74 St. Jackson Hts. taken last year with a Panasonic P&S (clone of Leica C-1 bought in Cleveland in a Wal-Mart and no longer available).

wow, times and places sure have changed.

it's funny, i grew up in a very proud italian family, not without it's share of ethnic bias, but i feel most comfortable in diverse groups.

looks like a great place for photo ops.

Joe, it sounds like you need some recipes.

Oh, when in a pinch, I rely on Tylenol PM. It takes care of my aching ankles and takes the steam out of my sails.

If Gene's solution is better than ours he must be going to sleep with the light on. As my wife generally is asleep before I am, I will hear about this in the morning.

lol ! It works this way -- when the book whops you in the face, it wakes you a little. You put the bookmark back into the same place it's been for the past week, turn off the light, and sweet dreams ...

Amazing what you can learn on this forum in addition to photography.

The Answer: Jerry Frank.

What Photographer used a Canon Rangefinder and got Published in Magazines in the US and Europe in the 1960's. He used a Canon Vt. I have some old US Camera Yearbooks, they are loaded with photographers that used the gear we still love. By 1964 the Nikon F was running even with the Leica M3. The SP and Canon RF's were not seeing as much use.

Not just to make you feel good. True facts.


From page 423 of Jim Hughes bio of Smith (Shadow and Substance), talking about his trip to Japan in 1959: "He brought, he said, his usual complement of Leica and Canon rangefinder cameras..."

Also, in Helen Gee's book Limelight, there's a picture of Smith wearing on his neck:

1 Canon--not an expert, but it looks like either a VI or P--this is in the high position with what looks like a light meter in the shoe

1 Leica M3--this is in the low position with what looks like a 28mm finder

1 Nikon F--this is over the left shoulder.
 
I also knew of a photojournalist-turned wedding photographer that used a Canon P and Leica M-something. There was even a horrible mentioning somewhere about how the Leica M failed and the Canon P bailed him out. And trust me I wouldn't say that just to make you feel good! ;)
 
thanks for that great info!

i actually have read that, but forgot. i just hauled out my copy of the hughes book (highly recommend it) and there it was as you stated.
i'll have to leave that book out on my coffee table now for sure!

and thanks to rich also! that must have been hard to write:)
what's the name of the photog?
