David Alan Harvey on William Albert Allard

[martin s]

In the '.. Last roll of Kodachrome' thread Semilog mentioned Allard. I have not heard of him before, but I looked him up and really like his work.. I also found a blog post by Harvey about Allard that made me smile a little.

but early on bill and i had some pretty major, or now seem to be silly, ego clashes....at a party one time, after i had about 10 beers, i got so mad at allard that i challenged him to arm wrestle.....even more dramatic , at another Geographic photographer function once, with all the staff gathered for an evening of comradarie, allard and i almost got into a fist fight.....for real....only because of peacemaker nick nichols, who grabbed me hard, and kept us apart, did the evening not turn into a "bar room brawl"...
