I meant to post this right after we met, but forgot.

I did post it on the Leica user Forum, but nobody got the joke about the 3 prostitutes playing Beauty Shop. Sometimes that happens when I try to tell jokes.

Delighted to see the show & all of you.

PS, Don't all M9s have black dots? Mine does. ;-)

hi Kent,

I shot that day with the "Decisive Challenge" in mind. At the same time, my blog's November theme is to "shoot in the style of HCB", so I'll have some to post to my blog, and I 'might' save a couple for the RFF challenge.

I shot a roll of Kodak 400CN on my M3 that day, and I'm just starting to look at those pictures now.

Thanks again for organizing things. :) It was a fun day.

Kent

PS- The link I provided leads to the easy steps for submittal to the challenge via email.

I wasn't able to get to the show with you all, but made it there this past weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I was surprised by just how much of the show I had never seen before: huge chunks of his later work were completely new images for me. That brought home how much of HCB's reputation/familiarity (for me anyway) has been built on his early work.

And, very pleasantly, I enjoyed the later stuff immensely, finding it fascinating to see images from HCB that looked to my eye like they were prototypical Winogrand, or Friedlander, or Frank shots. It highlighted for me the whole issue of "style" in photography by showing just how promiscuous a medium it is.

Two favorite images: the two elderly British ladies at the parade and the Mongolian wrestlers. Both completely new for me and both completely riveting.

Kevin,

We missed you last week, glad you made it this past weekend. I thought of you while reviewing the Chinese mainland photos as I had no idea he had shot there so extensively.

One of my personal favorites, in addition to his classic favs, was his portrait of Camus.

Fun stuff!

Kent, that portrait of Camus caught my eye too! Not only do I really like Camus, but I so adore that portrait. He looks quite intense in his eyes, but the cigarette in his lips is just hanging there so lazily.
 
HUGE Camus fan, and yes that portrait is one of my favs of the show, too (although, ever since about 1980 I've been amazed how much it looks like Joe Strummer). However, in the realm of French photographers my number one is Doisneau (easily in my top three all-around), and his artist portraits are fabulous.

Sarte portrait cool as well.

Sarte portrait cool as well.

Reese... Yeah, I really like everything about that shot. The tones, the mood, very very cool. The one of Sarte next to it wasn't bad either :)

See it aqui (one of about 20 Spanish words I remember)!

@Warren: Yep that was Donald's Ricoh, but I only had it at the restaurant. When I was down the lobby, I was just playing with that light installation. Ha!

@Kent: Yep, those existentialists made nice portrait subjects for sure. Oh and I think it's the first photo I've seen of young Truman Capote, and damn he was kinda cute too.

Oh... and I was just wondering but is anyone thinking of organising another outing before the end of the year? Maybe we could do a print swap too.
 
First off it was great hanging out and shooting with everyone on the 14th.

Kent,
Any ideas when and where the voting site will be?
 
Heya William. I will be posting the images later today for voting, which will be open for two weeks. I will create a new thread for voting which will contain instructions as well as a link. This will be posted here and on other participating forums.

Some very nice entries I must say, should be a good competition!
