In it, Crane interviews many photogs, including Robert Dosineau, Ansel Adams, Walker Evans, Brassai, Imogen Cunningham, Eugene Smith, May Ray, and many more. Interestingly, HCB refused his requests for an interview. Crane writes that HCB told him something along the lines of: "I don't take pictures any more. I will paint you naked. You will be naked, not me." Anyway, here's the link to the book on Amazon.com. Unfortunately, no information other than order info... Interesting book, though. I ran across a copy in an old bookstore in Atlanta. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/3895080934/o/qid=943315571/sr=8-1/002 - -9892697-4465812 - -----Original Message----- From: Richard Le [mailto:rle@thoughtbubble.com] Sent: Monday, November 22, 1999 1:59 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] Interviews with photogs Hi, I just picked up a nice little book from 1983 called "Master Photographers." In it, the author interviews sixteen photographers (from Ansel Adams to Elliot Erwitt to Harry Callahan). The questions aren't fantastic, but occasionally, the author asks questions about what film or equipment they used, what kind of lighting set-up they employ, etc. I found it very informative. So I was wondering if anyone knew of any similar books--where photographers discuss the nitty-gritty technical aspects of how they shoot. Richard Le
