Looks like a good show. I didn't know Hinton was a photographer. Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the heads up. Great show and photos.
I thought I'd give your thread a bump in case it plays in a different time slot.
Hope they release the video.

Yeah, thanks for the bump.

I will post more links about Milt Hinton as I find them. I have been trying to figure out what kind of camera he used, since his earliest images predate SLR cameras.

Does anyone know?

 

[Dean]

Looked like he used an Argus C3 in the early years, a Nikon F2, and that other camera everyone is always talking about on this forum.
A Leica something or other.
He used them all well.

For a minute I thought you were referring to the musician by the same name.

I am . Milt Hinton-- Bass Player/Photographer.

There is even a book of his work.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm also a music fan and will check out the book.

I watched the program this morning @ 5:30 am got up to see it... The photos were amazing. The only photo of him that I caught what camera was a portrait with a slr nikon.
ther was a quich shot of him in the old days when they did the shot on the steps of all the great players of the time and I could not see what the camera was.

 

[Fedzilla_Bob]
