Okay, maybe not, but it was a success ....<br><br>http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/temp/2004/lee-friedlander.jpg<br><br>I carted around a leica (no film in it of course) for graduation this week.<br>Was pleased to see lee friedlander brought a hexxar with him and ran around<br>shooting graduation himself. Before the procession was about to go into the<br>stadium, they paused for about 15 minutes and everybody was milling about.<br>Friedlander was chatting with Dr. Jaroslav Pelikan who I happened to have<br>photographed for a magazine a year or so ago and who I've been friendly with<br>ever since. Pelikan came over to me and said: "Everybody's so excited that<br>Bono is here, nobody's paying attention to my friend Lee Friedlander." and I<br>said "You're friends with Lee Friedlander?" and he said "Why yes, we went to<br>school together, I'll introduce you." So I got to have a happy chat with Mr.<br>Friedlander about books and models, families, photography, portraits, and<br>the hours of Photovilla ("I've been plenty of times, but it never seems to<br>be open!"). He mentioned how great he thought the CV lenses were. He had the<br>21 with him. It was swell and I didn't say anything stupid enough to make<br>myself memorable! <br><br>http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/temp/2004/pelikan-friedlander.jpg<br><br>Kc<br><br>P.s. he was using both black and clear tape on his camera. That must be the<br>pro-method.<br>_______________________________________________<br>Leica Users Group.<br>See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information<br> _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
