[Leica] Grant McLennan

[freakscene at weirdness.com (Marty Deveney)]

An acquaintance for whom I had an enormous amount of respect died in May 
this year.  Grant McLennan was a founding member, and along with Robert 
Forster, a driving creative force behind the Australian band The 
Go-Betweens.  He was 48.

So, over the last few nights I scanned a few photos I had in my archive of 
Grant playing live.  These photos uncharacteristically for me include a 
number of colour shots - I think they must have been for a street press 
newspaper or magazine.

http://gallery.leica-users.org/Grant-McLennan/File0896 is on (old) Delta 400 
in Xtol 1+3.  Nikon Fm2n with 85/2 at f4.  This is from a solo show Grant 
did at The Valley Fiesta in Brisbane, in, I think, 1998 or thereabouts.

http://gallery.leica-users.org/Grant-McLennan/File0902 is taken also in The 
Valley Mall in Brisbane, but is of Grant playing with The Far Out 
Corporation.  Not sure when - late 1990s.  Delta 3200 @ 6400 in T-Max RS 
developer.  Nikon Fm2n with 85/1.4 wide open, probably at about 1/30 (and 
still not quite enough light).

The rest are from a Go-Betweens show at The Hotel Great Northern, Byron Bay, 
in April 2000.  The B&Ws are on Neopan 1600 @ 3200 in T-Max RS and the 
colour shots are on Ektapress 1600 @ 3200 (only with Fuji natura has fast 
print film caught this great film, which was discontinued by kodak around 
2000).  That's Robert Forster with him in some of the shots.

Comments etc. appreciated.
