Don't say I didn't warn you...! Tim A (waiting for the, "it's crap - he doesn't know what he's doing - he's a disgrace to leica - call's himself a photographer, Huh - nothing but snapshots - what the hell are his pictures about - he wouldn't be anything without Sarkowsky, MOMA [accompanied by spitting on the the floor at that point] and the 'art world' - art photography garbage etc etc" posts (you could also insert Cindy Sherman (oops almost said Crawford...) Sally Mann, Andreas Gursky and so on, instead of Eggleston. Me - I love em all and think they are all at the forefront of photography today (which isn't to say I don't like Martin Parr, Don McCullin, Joel Sternfeld, Salagdo, Nachtwey, Sam Abell, Bill Allard et al - I do. + all the golden oldies of course [though St. Ansel needs a good trashing every now and then - but then I don't really like Wagner either...]) > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Gerry > Walden > Sent: December 23, 2001 1:04 PM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: RE: [Leica] Pellegrin/Eggleston > > > Thanks Tim, I find that incredible because i thought he must have shot on > large format.
