Evidently HCB is keeping up, what next Twitter? His M8 shots?

What a wasted opportunity, I'd have liked to see it done as a straight up imposter.

e: Didn't notice it was a fan-page, whoops.

Am not sure how he would respond to a "poke", in fact, I really do not know what those are regardless.

If Capa puts in a "Friend Request", am pretty sure he will be accepted.

Always good to see any images though.

There's always MySpace.

That is a fan-page, not a fake profile of Cartier-Bresson. You cant be his friend as you see, but a fan.

That explains no response to the messages. ;-)

There is still probably somebody taking care of the "pages" but... 🙂

I am sure it is more obvious to younger members, it looked as if it might be of interest to some here. ;-)

I'm sure the fondation does not know about it. 😀

If HCB was alive today he'd be spinning in his grave.

I started the Garry Winogrand group..

Edit: I see there are several now, hm. I started the first one anyways with 227 members 😀

Don't be a hater. ;-)

I'm not. 😉 I really like his works. Winogrand, too.

Quick! Get in on the ground floor! http://thepriceofsilver.blogspot.com and welcome to the home of my insanity! Don't wait until I'm dead and gone, or old and infirm. Hop aboard. Become a charter member!

The May 25th posting IS in the war room...LOL

 

[MickH]

Mr Kaplan, you're bloody crackers. 🙂

 

[RayPA]

There are a LOT of fan pages and groups on FB based on...dead people. I belong to several. I'll join the Winogrand, but not the HCB.

I wouldn't be surprised if FB is working on a way to communicate with the dead though, so don't give up hope: we may yet be able to find out Saint HCB's perspective on digital cameras ;-)

That explains no response to the messages. ;-)

Exhibits you remember for sure.

I would think that as his photos are available from Magnum? that more museums would have extensive collections and exhibitions. Am afraid the local museum is only slowly improving their exhibited photo collections, aside from temporary shows.

They did have a Weston exhibit and an AA exhibit across the street at the Art Institute, both free even.

Hater has a different connotation to my students. ;-)

I did scroll down to change to English (Pirate) for awhile, there are some strange things going on with FB, am sure my former students can come up with a foreign lingo, I think they enjoyed confusing me, which was not all that difficult. ;-)
