[Leica] Memories of Ted Grant

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I just tried googling for Luz Gallery, Victoria, after Philippe could not get through to their site,  and found they are permanently closed. Sorry folks, should have checked it beforehand.

Cheers

He put me in touch with his gallery, and we put the transaction through without any hassle.  These were 8"x12" prints on 13"x19" archival paper, inkjet printed with pigment inks. They had a few left over at that time in case anybody is interested. This is the gallery details I have on file:

I'd scanned the film (T400CN, I believe) back then but never worked it up. It's about light. The second shows Ted describing his most famous photo. He liked that shot and asked me for a couple of prints, which of course I gave him.
