[Leica] IMGs: For love of the black and white photography of Edward Weston, Minor White and W. Eugene Smith

[Ted Grant]

GEORGE! PAY ATTENTION! :-) :-)

.. We'll see if I still have anything worth saying in black and white; or if
I'm just an old man trying to relive his youth.!!!!!! <<<<<

GEORGE KNOCK THAT CRAP OFF!!! IT'S NEVER NEVER EVER "OLD!"

You are slipping gently into the realm as an "ELDER PERSON!" NEVER EVER EVER
"OLD!"

"OLD" is for the useless who have no desire to live and we usually find they
had quite a useless life!

 My goodness good Sir think only of "ENJOYING THE DAY AS BEST YOU CAN!" Oh I
know some folks have desperate situations in surviving another day! I have
developed an attitude of.... "NO MATTER WHAT THE DOC SAYS ABOUT SURVIVING
ANOTHER DAY? "SCREW HIM!" And take each day as it is! Hurting or not!  BUT
NEVER EVER BE AN "OLD PERSON OR OLD!"

CHEERS,
Dr. ted! :-)

Exactly.

thank you.
so far it feels like returning home
after a very long time on the road.
very familiar and comfortable.

This is the current unknown.
At one time I'd have said, "I see in black and white. I speak in black and
white."
The six Gallery shows I had over the years were all black and white
exhibits.
All of the museum invitationals I hung in were black and white prints.

But that was all back then.
And this is now.

We'll see if I still have anything worth saying in black and white;
or if I'm just an old man trying to relive his youth.
