Looks a bit & dressed like Bruce but Bruce is a bit taller I think.

Sorry I missed it.

I wouldn't know how to act at a ritzy establishment like that. I guess that's why I'm a Voigtlander dude.😀

 

[finguanzo]

Yup, I think thats Bruce..
I see him pretty often around the area were I work..
He must have dozens of pairs of pants, vests, hats... He looks identical everyday, for years now...

I'm sorry I didn't meet him last night as I what like a fish out of water at this event!

That's cool. I've only seen him in photos & he looks well over 6' tall. I guess he isn't as tall as I expected.🙂

 

[finguanzo]

He probably is, slightly over 6' tall, I agree he looks short in the pic, but really looks like him, stance etc.. Im 5'9, so anyone over 6' looks tall to me.. 🙂
I followed him once for a few blocks taking photos, not really followed, just walking in the same direction, he yelled at me, "yeah yeah, I get it, got enough.? "
Then we had a quick convo and a few laughs.. Nice guy, very direct, might seem nasty to some..

BTW Duane you have a nice blog.

Thanks for the nice comment. BTW, it was Bruce but he must have left fairly early as the store had classes on Friday and Saturday that I think Bruce may have been involved with.

It was definitely Bruce.

Yea, That's Gilden. I met him on the subway a few years back and got his autograph on a Mamiya 7II print-out I was carrying in my pocket. That was classic. He's a really nice guy.
