Recently, one of these images was selected for use in Guitar World Acoustic magazine as the lead photo in an article on finger-style picking. I had to dig out some old negs for the scans and thought I'd post a couple for anyone who might be interested. The one used in the magazine is of Walter "Furry" Lewis in 1968. The other is of Joe Calicott, Nesbitt MS, also 1968. Both of these artists are long deceased. I was lucky to get these pictures while they were still around. I think the article will appear in the November issue of GWA. They were doing the layouts Friday. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/Phils-LTM-photos/Calicott_small>http://gallery.leica-users.org/Phils-LTM-photos/Calicott_small http://gallery.leica-users.org/Phils-LTM-photos/Furry_3small Both images made with Leica M2 on Eastman 2475 recording film, D-76 1:1.
