[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've just read in Photo magazine, Italian edition, June issue A great story about Gary Knight's Kosovo work ( see http://www.foto8.com/issue09/reportage/GaryKnight/evidence00.html ) He talks about his gear: 2 M6 bodies, Summilux 30 and 50, plus a 75, all on Tri-X ( ASA 100 to 1600), Plus-X when the light allows it. No flash He carries a Hasseblad X-Pan too He's a Leica fan, also talks about that (the easy focussing, no mirror-easier to work at slow speeds, etc etc) Knight is part of the new VII agency ( www.viiphoto.com ) with Nachtwey, Morris, Kratochvil, Haviv et al. He's the author of the famous photograph of the Serbian torture chamber's wall, with "NATO" written in blood It's just a wall with writing on it, but that really makes my blood curl, every time I see it Check out his work if you like great photojournalism. And it's Leica photojournalism, too, to stay in topic matteo matteo persivale Milan, Italy - ----------------------------------------------- Japan Search: http://japan.co.jp Free E-mail: http://jmail.co.jp - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
