An interesting read. You have to wonder what similar-purposed stories about bloggers will look like in a few decades 🙂

I met Bert Hardy when he came to give a talk at a local camera club. Nice guy with lots of tales about how he 'got the shot'.

Never seen this site before, looks pretty interesting. Notice another of my fave photogs there, Homer Sykes. He was one of my first influences to photography after I saw his shots showing my local area. Met him a a few years back at the Media Museum in Bradford.

Interesting. Mr. Hardy's work isn't as well known on this side of the Atlantic. It appears he used the Contax & Rolleiflex cameras extensively, too.
