Even today, I still marvel at the tones...:thumbup:Great thread!
Some from my Rolleiflex and expired Tmax (posted before in other forums/threads):
Got an email a couple of days ago from someone looking for an image I made back in '92 for use in a documentary video. Weirdly, it was one that I never scanned or printed and yet they had a low res shitty scan for recognizing that particular frame. So I dug it up and scanned it and here it is. Two of the, well, let's just cut to the chase - the two best songwriters Texas ever produced - Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt. Hopefully we'll come to a reasonable usage agreement. I think we will. Shot on an RZ on Plus-X Pan Professional and lit with two Norman 400 B's into a well used Balcar 1.7 m umbrella.
Yeah. The great ones often time go too soon. All I can say is that that was one day I'll not soon forget, even a quarter century later. Spending time one on one with those two changes your life in ways that are hard to explain. All you can do is hope that some of their greatness rubs off, even for a few minutes. Later that day and it a different direction and location I shot my first pictures of many of Robert Keen. And that night in Fallon, Nevada, all three played and Guy brought out Ramblin' Jack, who rambled appropriately for about 45 minutes. If you listen to Townes enough you soon understand why Dylan went to Austin to seek him out in the early days of Townes' career.I listen to Townes almost daily in my favorites mix via amazon music.
Like so many music legends, a real tragedy for us that loved him.
Best regards,
Darr
