post links to great online galleries here

[sf]

I thought this might be a nice way to get alot of links to great galleries around here. "Here" meaning anywhere on the net. Every now and then, I run across a nice set in some gallery online, but lose the link or never return. This is an aspect of the online experience (things get lost). There are probably thousands of wonderful sets online. Everyone has seen a different bunch. I'd be interested to look at some that I haven't seen (I've seen only a few and don't know how to search for galleries). Anyone?

We have lots of very talented artists here at RFF, but I rarely hear anything about the following (though this person's works are marked with numerous comments, which shows they have been viewed and appreciated). I just thought I'd start with a member :

I can see the PM's flying in all directions now: "Please post a link to my gallery,mate!!" 😀
THIS I really like, as it is predominantly people photography, at which I am consistently no good.

George,
you read my thoughts. I was going to ask to RFF members to post links to photographers' gallery because studying the work of expert photogs is an important part of the training for beginners like me.
I agree with you, Alex Krasotkin's gallery is impressive (I posted a comment in his gallery some days ago) and here is a link to another one I like:

Philip Blekinsop is very impressive.

I bumped into Philip Blenkinsop by chance at Shine Camera Shop in Bangkok. We was really nice, and very helpful with guiding a Thailand newbie to various film/camera sources here. Incidentally, he shoots only with Leica and Mamiya RFs, and he prints everything. He was at the shop picking up paper.

 

[jaapv]

THIS is one of my personal heroes. It has nothing to do with RF photography at all.

to add one/two sites, Howard French:

http://www.howardwfrench.com/

Relevance, too; he uses a Konica Hexar. His Rollei shots, though, are fantastic. There's a thread on Lightstalkers about favorite writers/photogs. I didn't post there, but he's one of them.

Philip had a book out called "The cars that ate Bangkok" about traffic accidents
i saw one copy in a bookshop in Bangkok some years ago -i did't have enough cash on me at the time and it's has since long gone - if you like his work you might be able to find a copy of it from abebooks.com or amazon.

One time Magnum photog (now deceased). Made extraordinary use of 21mm/28mm focal lengths. Pioneered wide-angle environmental fine-art portraiture. Used both Leica and Nikon.

I'm on a mission to find books like these in Asia, especially "Cars That Ate Bangkok." If you like Blenkinsop's printing/diary writings, keep an eye out for Bill Burke's "Mine Fields" and "Autrefois." "Mine Fields" is being reissued in September.
