“A good photograph is knowing where to stand.” Ansel Adams Toda, Mark and Angelo recounted their recent field trip to the Eastern Sierra's...others on the trip included Kevin and Chris. Mark and Angelo shared their pictures electronically. Unfortunately there were too many pictures to include in this blog post. Below are just two pictures. Unfortunately, Kevin did not have the time to print his batch of prints but Chris showed 3-4 B&W prints for all to see at the meeting. See below Everybody agreed that our current monitor is less than ideal and is getting "old" from a technical point of view. We empowered Paul to research the type and cost of a new monitor. What else did we see and hear at our meeting... Bill showed several pictures taken on Haight Street in San Francisco. Haight is getting gentrified and is far less hippie than in years past. One example is below Finally, Bill noted the new book by Teju Cole...probably the best photography writer in the US today. Cole is currently a professor of literature at Bard College. The book is "Known and Strange Things" a volume of essays. He also is the photography critic for the New York Times. Lastly, thanks to Paul Dupont for bringing his guest in my absence...Jerry de Wilde, a well known photographer for the past 5 decades. Jerry was shooting the early days of the Monterey Pops Festival and produced his most famous picture of Jimi Hendrix burning his guitar on stage. Below is a link to his website and the Hendrix picture
